14-15" Massachusetts Black Crappie on the fly

[gillbuster]

Went out to get some fish for an old fashion fish fry for wife and some neighbors. Caught 8 monster crappie all 14-15' all about 1.5-2 lbs, 1 1/2 inches thick


Caught these on a fly called the "Goldie" (Streamer) and it is deadly on all panfish. Caught nice gills, yellow perch, white bass. As you can see I had some fish to clean. We used the Beer batter from the Crappie.com website and it was absolutely outstanding., My neighbors are raving aout it


All these slabs had some serious shoulders and they were black as could be


All the crappie were 14-15". They were so heavy when I tried to lift them into the boat the hooks ripped out of there mouth. I lost about half a dozen of these whoppers


Massachusetts Crappie feed heavily on Alewives, (baby herring that migrate from the ocean) are underharvested, here is the results from some quality well feed monster fish
