Thread: Big minnerz

Ok, guys been a few years ago but while unloading the boat at day break I saw those threadfins working the banks so I tried to catch a few. I managed to catch half a dozen or so that was prolly 4-5" long to which my dad said those are too big. Well we got out to the 1st spot and I hooked one on under a cork about 4-5' deep. It trolled around for a lil bit then made a small circle and slowly started under. I let it go for a lil bit longer than usual cause of the bait size but when I set the hook it was a Hugh crappie to my dads surprise. He said you caught that on that big minnow, to which I replied yep as I threaded another on! Our lakes don't have the numbers but they do offer some biggens and those bigger crappie like I bigger bait I think. The other day when I went out I had some lil bitty minners and that's no good. I'll have to request bigger bait next time.

Good catch.
