Don (My boat partner): "I and Samuel want to try and catch crappie this Saturday".
Me: "Ok".
Don: "Not taking any catfish gear, just ultralight tackle and we're buying 4 dozen minnows".
Me: "Ok".

And that is what we did. Luckily one crappie rod was loaded with 20lb braid line.

This is what a 13.5 lb crappie looks like.


This is what a 12 lb crappie looks like.


All our other crappie rods were loaded with 4lb mono. They didn't even stand a chance against those monster crappie that loved those Toughie minnows. I'm back to catfishing next Saturday.

Bet the fights were AWESOME! Also lifetime memories made!

That's how you know you should be catfishing instead of fishing for bait!
