Sometimes you just hear about the BIG one that got away . Somehow it Escaped to fight another day if you will. Well this is just such a tale.
The fish was an absolute monster crappie ! The kind you dream about and or have a nightmare about depending on the outcome and or opportunity to ketch said fish.
Well I would like to introduce you to the fish that made just such an the escape , Likely in the high 2 or better range and fighting just like a big ole black bass all the way right up to the marble sized gravel bar right before dry land .
About halfway to the bank it got really decent air time for a crappie and made the heart skip at least 3 beats .
Sometimes luck plays into these scenarios and sometimes it isn't the angler that has the magic luck card in his or her hand .
The good news is this , it looked to have lot's of life in it as it rocketed away from the bank and seemed to even whisper a mini laugh on the departure . Of course there wasn't much humor in it for the angler who captured the ONE still shot of it when the hook came out and the eye to eye contact that it made with him or her .
I could say it was a really stupid big black crappie , BUT in the end, it IS a stupid big black crappie , out there waiting in the Clear Fork of that there Trinity river in hopes of hurting the next anglers dreams and wishes ......:Rofl
KABOOM is the word btw :highfive
