Big 'Ol Crappie surprise
Message:
Today we were down at Zoar where I keep my boat. Weather was spotty and turned real bad fast after 3 with lightning and a quick downpour so we headed to the car to dry off. It cleared up after a half hour and I went to dry the boat and clean up. My daughter wanted to fish off the dock because she saw some sunfish. I had the trout pole in the car and a few trout magnets in a small case so I rigged it up with a yellow and orange one on a gold jig head and told her to cast by the dock. She landed a few nice bluegills and a couple of perch. I headed off to button up the canvas and then she holds up the pole and asks from down the dock "dad, what type of fish is this?" Dangling off the hook is at least a 12" crappie she got in about 5 feet of water jigging straight down from the dock. I couldn't believe it! This was a nice fish and bigger than a lot I have seen. I had her come over so I could take it off the hook, had her thumb it and we took a close look at it. All my years fishing and she catches a bigger one than me right from a dock! It made her day and now she is making fun of me. Gotta love those moments folks!
