We Had Them Setting Down On The Boat And The Next Thing We Knew There Was Slack In The Line, Sometimes As Much As 2 Foot.

What Should I Do In A Case Like This? We Caught The Fish Each Time And They Were Good Fish. I Guess What I Am Asking When A Fish Is Bringing Your Bait Up What Is That A Sign Of?
Thats a sign that the fish has it in its mouth!
SET THE HOOK!!
Hook sets are free. I have learned bass fishing and it seems to be the same with crappie fishing if you have any sudden slack in your line, or your jig is dropping and it stops falling, set the hook.
