She was a TWO timer !

Some suggest crappie have a brain , I would suggest not so much
Some might even say they are loyal to each other , not so much yet again
Some go so far as to say they have a memory , not very likely , yet again .....
I am of the opinion that giving them attributes like this is pretty silly ....
Case in point .....
A large female white crappie bit my ORANGE jig first drop the other day .....
she had cormorant bite mark on her ....
I released her after a few images ....
about 5 minutes later and 2 boat slips away in slightly deeper water ,she bit the SAME jig again and I ketched her again ! :yikes
I thought at the time , it was different fish and later I was going thru the images I got during that adventure and realized one of the fish had IDENTICAL markings to another and the exact same wound in the same spot ....
right down to the split in it's tail , the SAME stupid fish .....
......REALLY dumb fish for sure , just saying :Rofl
KABOOM :highfive

See I always thought they were extremely smart fish and to catch one twice had to be a genius fisherman. :Doh::Rofl

Your command of the English language leads me to believe you went to New Orleans Public Schools, say it ain't so................

they might bite other colors , white is good , chart as well .....but day in and day out ...this time of year ORANGE is it ....
if you follow folks like the ever-infamous Jerry Hancock , you might notice he and his clients are currently pitching the EXACT same color as mine in another style of plastic ....just saying :highfive

some people would go so far as to say things like I am making fun of whoever when I post like DAT ....
but it jus ain't tru bro .....I am just having fun and not selling any insults to anyone, no matter their education level and or capacity to command the English language .....:crazy:

I caught a crappie with a similar mark, chunked it back in and he hit and got caught before getting back to bottom.
On lake Fork I caught a yearling bass on a point, and 5 minutes later caught the same fish ....he had a sore on him that marked him.

I think orange is her favorite color. She's a slab so she can't be stupid since she's still swimming. Just hungry and didn't get full eating those orange jigs.

You have to unhook and release them before you walk to another dock. :Rofl :cheers2

one thing worthy of mention , she tea totally HAMMERED that jig first round and the second take was ever so subtle .....just saying

Several years back I dropped a jig on a fish several times . Each time it bit and I set the line but no fish . It did not run off . Looked at my jig and hook was gone . :Rofl

And I always thought that if you caught a big fish they would run off all the others and wouldn't bite again... you sure proved me wrong on this ... thanks for sharing

Crappie are very spooky, little fish often bite twice, mature fish lot’s less likely, saw a video back when where a fella ketched a 3 plus blackie twice ….
Sometimes they are just in the mood , got my line broke one time by a big male fish on a dock and as I tied on a new jig my good friend H dropped in that same spot.
He immediately got bit and flipped it up on the dock and it spit out my jig …

Maybe she just enjoyed the ride. :)

probably so , I REALLY sling em up on the dock in record speed on larger crappie
my 6 foot fiberglass has some backbone and with 8 lb test in 7 or 8 fow ,it is typically over before they realize what the heck just happened :Rofl
sometimes I swear they looked totally confused, about how they got in my hand and out of the water before they even had the ever so slightest littlest chance to get away rotfl
