Thread: Big minnerz

I do the same thing. I just pretend I missed a monsterLOL.

Agree, big minnow, equal big fish. I had several smaller ones yesterday and I ended up with some smaller crappie too.

With the brooders (#24's) Todd brought to Butla last year, I thought he was nuts. Danged fish hit em, and those minners were 6-7 inches long, and 11/2" wide. He did admit that he didn't look in the bags (they had put the oxygen bags in brown paper bags at the Minner farm) to check the size of them minners. . Those minners would swim off with a crappie in their mouths. Glad I had some 8's with me that day. I literally could'nt tell if those 24's were swimming, or I had a fish hitting!!!! The #12's he usually brings do catch big fish!!!!!!!

I do think sometimes it's better to match the hatch with the size of your bait tho.
