The Hat Challenge episodes are under way

In an effort to keep ahead of the game and due to my ever present need to face the crappie in adverse and new conditions with unproven techniques and tackle i took it upon myself to decide if one hat or cap might be "luckier" or possibly better to wear to ketch crappie than another . :Rofl
Now mind you to make it a fair assessment, I just used a shake my spear cheap rod and nothing special line and jigs . I even went so far as to go in blind with no electronics or boat .
So here we go , i put my on KABOOM ballcap ,mask and shades on , pitched my jig out there and first toss ......i hung something that either wasn't a fish or was such a big fish it didn't even know i was there maybe ? I thought as my jig settled and it came tight and i set the hook on what had the feel of ....danget lost my jig on something first pitch ...REALLY !
The initial second or 2 after i set the hook nothing happened , i was saying in my mind what a great start . then it moved about 2 inches away from really slowly ....and i was like OH MY .....that aint the bottom !
It continued to move away from at that rate of speed for about 25 feet or so and i began to sweat it . i told myself its headed to my condo , if it makes the condo its over and sure enough about the time it gets over there ...POP !
the really good news is my jig pulled out and the very next toss was a nice crappie :cheers2
Anyway back to the testing we go , the KABOOM ballcap did a good job and several nice crappie came to my hand .
So i went with my brand new straw hat next and found very similar results in numbers of fish . The one thing that was noticeable during the test run that was different was the size of the fish ....as you can probably imagine ....now you have to remember sometimes my test results might be slightly biased do to my liking my KABOOM and in the end ...
The KABOOM ballcap fish were in fact larger :yikes :Rofl
and in the end KABOOM is the word :cheers2
