Busch Wildlife Area- I didn't know these were there

Caught these two today at Lake 33 while Crappie fishing.
Quite a surprise when you are catching 5 to 7 inch Crappie

I would have never guessed.

At least some thing big was biting. Was anyone else out there fishing?

Nice fish.

They are also stocked in 35, and I thought I had heard someone say they caught them in 34. On occasion you can go down to Howell Island and catch a bunch.

Nice surprise I bet you thought it was a 4 pound crappie

LSL
I was the only one there. A couple people came and fished about ten min. and left. I guess it was too cold for them.

Fight better than a 7" Crappie!

Those "drag burners" will get your attention quick. Thanks for the post and pics.

Those whites are always fun on light tackle.

so the broken lines, does that mean a Hybrid?

Yes the broken lines says it be a hybrid.....
