I was at wally world today, and I was listening to a couple of guys looking and talking about fishing lures. One picked up one of those fancy type spoon lures, and said I'd bett crappie would eat that up....
I got to thinking we all do that at one time or another. The lure makers make them to look good to us, more so than to the fish [imo].
I bought all kinds of lures because I think if I was a crappie I'd eat that thing, I'd hate for my wife to know how much money I've spent on fishing stuff.
I remember 50 years ago when people would fill there coolers with crappie using 20 or 30 pound test mono line, with maybe a 4/0 catfish hook, or what ever they had at the time.
Man times have changed, sometimes I belive we are the ones that are the fish...lol
