crappie underfoot

[Big Keene]

was at lake 6 for a bit. on the side where the boats are. was tossing a little jig around and accidently caught an egg laden 11" white crappie at the end of cast just hanging the jig a 2' out and 2' down. was looking ahead to the next cast and she almost snatched my rod out of my hand. i probably ended up catching 30 or 40, mostly tiny 6"ers, but would have had enough 9"+ to feed the wife and i had i been keeping them.  a 7' rod and 7' of line out caught the vast majority. there were times i would catch 8 or 10 without even touching the reel. just dip and lift. lots of fun.
