• Vise to lake

    I hadn't fished since last Wednesday when I lost a giant Black crappie that pulled free from a little duck jig, 1/32 with a #12 hook. Weather has been cold but still wanted to fish for a bit. Tied a half dozen 1/32 with a #6 but kept total length short, only 1/4" longer than the one with the #12 sickle and tied these two jigs onto my rods and headed out the door to 24 degree temps with snow flurries. Caught a few small crappies and gills and then I felt a little THUMP and was hooked up with my biggest crappie of the year. Prayers were said and heard and I landed this slab. Little skinny but around 15". Forgot to measure. Tough morning with guides freezing constantly but worth the effort though I left after 1.5 hours because of cold hands and feet.
