My granddaughter caught her first big crappie this evening, a really pretty black female and it was a 15 in fish. Wish you all could have seen her when she seen that fish come out of the brush pile she had a smile I've never seen. Caught it with her 10ft rod and a lime and white strike king joker. We caught quite a few big ones tonight with the biggest at 16/in, as soon as I can figure out how to upload pics from my phone on here I will share our evening.
