This is the 1lb 14oz crappie I caught tonight. For scale, that is a 6" jerkbait hanging out of it's mouth.

Most anglers fish too fast with all baits but especially soft plastics. You can't fish a senko slow enough. Watch Gary Yamamoto fish. He is the opposite of all the power fishing we see on TV. Wish I had learned to slow it down years earlier.

Hey there, newbie here from the Charlotte, NC area. 45 year old family man and have fished off and on my whole life but have really turned it up since purchasing a property with a private lake a few years back. I exclusively fish for largemouth but this lake has some monster blue gill and crappie that attack bass baits regularly so I guess I am a blue gill and crappie angler as well. Actually caught an almost 2 lb (1 lb 14oz) white crappie tonight on a megabass +1 jerkbait! Looking forward to sharing stories, photos and experiences with the community and who knows, maybe meet some local anglers.
