long story short i hooked what looked to be in the upper 2 range when it came up to the surface quite agitated .it fought like a bass and got up out of the water and then POOF it was gone . i adjusted my rig and pitched it back out and never said a word.
he said son "do you realize how big that crappie was and you dont even seem upset" ?
i said yes sir ,it was whale size no doubt and it will make a great fish story, the ones that get away do that you know
