Purdy one

[Ketchn]

Went in with a nuclear chart split tail , not all that productive ....
tried a golden child for a bit as well , similar result ....
went down with something "purdy" and commenced to KABOOM ....
mind you this about that , all 3 items that got wet had very different profiles ...
so to be very sure it might not have had a thing to do with color ....
or maybe it did ?
.... only the crappie could tell you for sure ...
in the end I lost my purdy jig to something stationary on the bottom and only managed to ketch 30 fish or so on my lunch break and 5 of them fish were darn yella bass
one thing that I noticed worthy of mention is this ....
a small yella bass pulls way harder than a medium size white crappie
and a medium size black crappie pulls harder than both the yella and the white ...
AND it aint the size of the hook that matters , its the angler on the other end and his or her ability to understand how to ketch a nice size lip hooked crappie ....the ever so slightest of anything related to not full force hammer it to the hand will often result in the loss of a crappie that ain't bone hooked ...
play gently if you like , but to be very sure you will lose a fair number of them that are hooked like the one in the image if you do so .....
so yet again KABOOM is the word on my lunch time travels ....
