Went to the swamp pond today instead of work; sunny, air temp-high 70s, partly cloudy, no wind with fairly clear water, and water turkeys and vultures soaring overhead, scaring all the Bass.

Caught a 2lb Bass on the LC Pointer I used Sunday at my boss's pond.

Had   this small swimbait on and was waking it back when I saw a follower as it got next to the boat.  I stopped the bait and watched the Bass circle the bait and then it reached up and sucked the bait under.  I was  so amazed at seeing that happen that I didn't wait for the Bass to take it under and just ended up snatching the bait away.

Later, I caught a nice Crappie on the same pointer.  Got no other bites.

2lbs, 8ozs--19"

Crappie

Very cool. Beautiful day to be out. I've caught some crappie also while fishing those pointers.

Man, I wish I could get into some crappie like that  .

Sweet fish! thats once nice crappie!

Biggest crappie i've ever cought was a 1lb. It put up a pretty lame fight though...

How did yours fight?

Nice crappie!

That thing is a tank!

Nice crappie! I wish I had a lake nearby where I could catch them.

holy crappie

nice fish

Thanks y'all.  I thought the Crappie would bring some comments .

No 'fight' to speak of and I didn't 'horse' it in as their 'paper mouths' will rip easily.

I wish there were no Crappie in that pond as they eat a lot of the forage fish and y'all have seen the skinny Bass from that pond.  A biologist told me this spring as we were shocking my boss's pond that any pond of 10 acres or less must not have any Crappie in it or they will deplete the Bass population.  The swamp pond and my boss's pond are 10 acres or less.

wow monster crappie and nice bass

Monster crappie ROFL ;D

that rago mouse is quite the cool looking bait.

keep us posted on how it's doing.

PS do you the original shown in the photo or the "one piece" they say is now the current design?

That bait.... I can see it doing some damage in the spring.

It's the two-piece bait. I hooked that one .

That mouse is sweet looking...never saw that one before. Doesn't the lip on it make it dive like a CB?

that mouse is pretty cool...one pond i fish on has a jonboat that always has mice in it...i bet they go for a swim sometimes...

You always boat at least 1 fish. Nice Crappie...shoot

It will dive just a foot or so but no more than that.  I think it was designed to stay on top, making it a "wake" bait.  That's where I would expect a rodent to swim too so I reel it very slowly.
