Went out today looking to slam some bass got a few bass but ended up slamming the ole paper mouth. They were every where hitting just about anything. My nephew wanted to keep them to fry but soon as I threw one on a stringer id go biteless for like 10minutes so id throw the crappie back and id start slamming them again. After catching 3 more we figured we were on a good spot getting hit every cast id keep one and they would shut up. I musta went threw that pattern 3 or 4 times befor we left and we never kept a single one. They were all giant slabs smallest one was about 12in ill post pics later when I resize them they were inhalling big cranks.

lol maybe they saw the crappie stucked to the stringer so they stopped biting lolll

I thought that so I threw em in the canoe after that and same thing till I tossed it back

Crappie are a good sign....bass aren't far behind!

Oh I know I caught maybe a dozen crappie in the deeper water thinking id find bigger bass there but between me and my nephew we got about 30 bass in the shallows at the mouth of the lake where we launch the canoe this 4.5 was the biggest the rest were 1-3lbs 2 being the avg.
