Thread: Finding Some Crappie While Working

Today we electro fished Conway to take genetic samples (fin clips) of largemouth bass. We do this periodically to determine if the Florida largemouth stocking is having an impact on the genetics of the largemouth population. We found plenty of bass in all sizes but I could help but notice all of the slab black crappie in the areas we were shocking. We also found some areas with thumper bluegill and redear. Here are a couple pictures of us taking fin clips and some pics of fish. The last picture is of a 20 pound brown trout that we collected during our annual sample on the Little Red River. As much as I love my job, all I could think about today was that I should be grabbing my boat and some minners and jigs and go yank those big black crappie out of there. Hopefully I can get out there sooner than later.
