I betcha a pelican would eat a slab crappie in a heart beat. Every time a fish see's a shadow come over, they probably dive for cover thinking it's a pelican, but it's only Crappie Pro who is more dangerous to a crappie than any pelican. I would post a pelican video, but it's not on my phlip phone but is on my wifes eyephone. I need to figure out how to move it to youtube.
