Dang Aaron!!!!....congrats  brother that's a nice smallie.....how many big fish will the Mitch craw catch??

The combination of that craw and the tenacious fishing ability of this man is insane to say the least lol I don't think there's a soul on this forum that's tearing it up the way Aaron is man....it really is incredible. I know i've said it a few times now but that craw is going to go very far.

Spectacular fish!  That would tie for the biggest I've ever taken from an Ozark stream in more than 50 years of fishing them, at least by weight (my two that size were longer).  Legitimate 5 pounders are few and far between.

I am now officially jealous.  Mitch texted me the photos before I read it on here, and I showed them to Mary.  "Jealous, huh?" she said.

Blame it on Mitch , Scott and Paul. I could of gave two craps about smallies till I met them on this forum that I actually was googling to lurk for some walleye info.  These guys were so passionate about smallies and I had long since burned out on the fish. Even though I respected them for a true ozark gem    I'm actually in my head  thinking over the last 30 years of every giant that followed me to the boat over the last 30 years and I'm gonna go there with a craw.  Oh yeah, the craw.  The craw honestly has been nothing like I've ever seen.  Sure over the years I've seen Giants on live bait and even trot lines for crying out loud. But this craw is to me completely over the top lets go fishing Al

OK guys, you really got me needing a fishing trip.  I can take care of that part, the issue is, I am out of a certain soft plastic.  Hoping one of you will feel pity for a brother and drop some off.  You know where to find me.

That craw is starting to sound a lot like the ned rig.

It was not my intention to over-hype the craw Chief. They were just catching big fish with it. I can't help it. The craw is nothing special.
