Crappie pond

[Bankbeater]

I was bass fishing a pond on Saturday that is about 2/3 of the way matted over with vegetation.  I was casting a buzz bait out and when I would get it near a mat I would get hit but no hookup.  After about 10 minutes of playing around, I cast out a pop-r and landed this crappie.  Over the next half hour, I got 3 more that were all around 12" in length.  I knew there was some crappie in this pond, but I didn't think they were this large.  I'm definitely going back out to this pond in the fall when that vegetation dies off.

A couple years ago, I was surprised when I caught some crappie at a local pond while bass fishing.  After catching 2 pretty quickly, I figured I'd keep the next couple and filet them.  I had no stringer...I just put them in my cargo pockets.  Showed back up at the housr with 3 crappie...enough to feed me and the wife.
