Under-weight crappie
Maybe it's just a fluke or maybe I haven't noticed before, but the last few trips to Rend have all produced at least 1 fish over 10" that was extremely thin. Almost skin and bones thin. Didn't really notice at the time they were caught, but the flesh was also very white although they appeared healthy enough otherwise. Wouldn't think they reached the 10+ range by dieting. Maybe a swim bladder injury or they spent all summer with a jig in their throat. Certainly not a food shortage in the lake. Anyone else seen/seeing similar?

Not as bad as Crab slabs. You'll wanna target the drum, mo meat.

Looks like Crab needs more bait fish in it or is it just over populated with fish.
Lets go soak a line. Pat

I see very few people at the bridge throw anything back in much less a 10" crappie!!
