I went Crappie fishing with Nino yesterday. The wind stayed low and the temps were in the 50’s. Fish cooperated pretty well and I had some extra fun with this feller on my TSS with some twitchmaster 3lb. How I love the runs they make with the drag screaming in protest. I only got this one but Nino got many more. He trolled through a school of them and had three rods down at once. It was kinda fun to watch. Hope y’all get out and stay warm. Til next time……Skeet

Bet that was a nice tussle. :ThumbsUp
what form of striped fish is that ? looks striper or is it something else ?
congrats and KABOOM
Very nice.
Lot's of fun on ultralight gear. Did Nino catch all three? That would be quite an accomplishment.
Nice catch!

You either got small feets, or big pants! lol :Rofl
Congrats!
Those will take the kinks out of your line and test your drag !
BC, they don’t come to the boat easy. Thankfully he didn’t gather all the other lines like they’re famous for.
Ketchn, that there be a hybrid white bass/striper cross with many names. Down here we just call em stripers or drag burners.
Jim, yes he boated all three. When they run big it’s quite an experience. He and I were out in early October and went through a school twice and 5 rods went down each time. We boated four each time.

And Slab, thems big feet and big insulated bibs. I think he’s around 16” or a little bigger. These fish are fat too. Shad population must be good cuz they’re bordering on chubby. I wish I knew the secret to target just them. I’d be absolutely useless and obsessed!
We call 'em hybrids. Trolling FAST will get you bit if theyre around.;)
interesting for sure , they don't really look like the ones they stock here , yours look more striper than ours , ours tend to look more white bass , am pretty sure it has something to do with the way they are initially bred , hear tell Texas tried over and over to get the right mix per say ....seems they used yellow bass , white bass and stripers and boy of this to girl of that and back and forth with girl of this and boy of that , till they came up with the current version .
the yellow bass cross was STUPID cool ,aka "paradise bass", only stocked them one or 2 years way back when , banana yellow with bold black stripes ....growth rate and size took them out of the mix ....seems we want them to be super size here in 3 years or 4 ....:cheers2
