And this my furry friends is why you have a wintertime bite. The shad that they have been eating all summer finally get too big to swallow so the crappie quit chasing and start eating what ever is dropped in front of them that is bite size.

Good pics. Good thing that wasn't a crappie inside. You would have been one over.
