• New personal best crappie

    I didn't have a scale, but this puppy was just a fraction over 18 inches.

    I caught him on Friday from our neighborhood dock on Lake Norman in Mooresville, NC. Used a roadrunner jig head with a 1.5" gulp minnow on it, in about 7' of water.

    He was released back into the lake, hope I see him again! My son held him for me while I took the picture.

      Thanks all. Don't give me too much credit on the release. I was very tempted to keep her, and might have if I already had a few other crappie in my bucket. As it was, I was too excited to make her the first keeper of the evening, and I let her go.
