Probably need to keep a closer eye on knicks and frays in the line. Also need to get the snell knot down. |

Hopefully you get another chance. I never target fish that large but the same applies to really any fishing, just with gear scaled down. I know it gets exciting when you are catching fish and want to get back in the water as soon as possible. I know I have lost fish for the same reason though.

How do you target blues and flatheads exclusively, just use live bait? |

Most trash fish wont mess with them. Turtles love cut bait too. Also, i don't say exclusively like that is all i catch lol! Occasionally, I'll have a drum or gar hit my shad. Blue and Flathead are what i want to catch, so they are what I'm geared for. |

The wife and I caught 42 keeper size crappie yesterday at our "secret spot". We let em all go but we did keep a couple of channels we got into.

Nice stories. Makes me want to leave work and catch some fish.
I've never been crappie fishing. Only caught one in my life. |
