Terrific Crappie at Normandy but the gills and crackers are small. I've caught my share and have never caught a Bluegill at Normandy that compares to the Centerhill or Dale Hollow Bluegills. However Crappie are a different story. My PB came from Normandy and my daughter caught one 16-1/4 ". It was so big around it looked like it swallowed a baseball. 2nd biggest Crappie I've ever seen. The biggest was at Reelfoot. It's nose and tail were touching a 20" cooler.
