Yea, she was pretty Bug-Eyed when I got her up. I hung one that felt much bigger than this but she got off before I could get her to the top. I was using a 1/32 oz white roadrunner with a Bobby Garland Bleeding Shad.......used 1/2 oz weight a foot above the RR. Just find the fish then concentrate on keeping your lines vertical while staying above them.....can be tricky in a lot of wind with 6-8 rods that deep, LOL. FYI, the Crappie are getting harder and harder to find in Lake Monticello, which used to be an outstanding wintertime Crappie lake. Could get a limit in an hour 3-4 years ago but I only got 2 fish in the boat this morning. I heard a rumor that grass carp had been put into the lake recently and that there is no longer any grass on the bottom. We have used fish finders as well as an underwater camera for years to find Crappie in crystal clear Lake Monticello but now have a really hard time finding any.....the population really seems to be less than a tenth of what it was several years ago.....
