Caught some nice ones on Jordan this weekend. Caught several 14"+ and released most of them but did keep a few for eating. Took my 9 year old daughter out today and she had a blast catching some larger crappie. In this pic she was holding a 14" 1-1/2 pound crappie. Spoke to a gentlemen late this evening leaving from the 64 bridge in a blue bass tracker. Wouldn't happen to be one you folks would it?

Kids and Crappies!
Where on Jordan were you fishing? Like to get into some of those as they would make good eating.
Great job and thanks for posting!
Thanks guys. We mostly fished around the 64 bridge but not under it like most do. We also fished a little by Ebenezer and did catch 3 or 4 keepers (10-11").
This day almost didn't happen. We started late because of church then motored to the 64 bridge. Got there and anchored up. Tried to move the boat and the anchor was stuck. Then tried to start the motor and it wouldn't start. Got the knife and was about to cut the anchor loose and it worked free. So we were going to use the trolling motor and go all the way back to Ebenezer. We motored about 50 yards and it hit me. I had the kill switch cord tethered to my belt loop on the trip there and I must've activated it. Flipped the switch and she fired right up. We had a pretty good laugh for about 5 minutes and then motored back to the killing grounds/waters and proceeded to put some fish in the boat. Let that be a reminder that rule #1 anytime your boat won't start.......check the kill switch! Still have to laugh.
Almost got killed at the Masonboro jetties because of that kill switch. We were about a half mile out, just drifting some pogies and when I went to start her up, nothing. As fate would have it we missed drifting into the inlet by about 50 yards and wound up being tossed up on the south side of the south jetty. Lost the boat, torn to pieces. But escaped with our lives. Insurance company said the kill switch was off. Not 100% sure I believe them though because the boat was only about 3 months old, maybe 20 hours on the engine, and I had never once messed with that kill switch.
Guess it happens more often than I thought. I also had an incident where I didn't quite have the throttle in Neutral. Turned the key and nothing. Getting up to check battery and wires I bumped the throttle and heard it "click" into Neutral. Fired right up then. Good old "operator error!"
