Just started fishing with the kids. Was only able to cast twice but got this small crappie on an inline spinner on my second cast. Weather was great. Bluegill were biting on the kid’s red worms on bait hooks.

Caught this monster crappie jigging a quarter ounce Kastmaster lure at the dock at Fort Belvoir Marina… I don’t know how big they get, but I would venture to say that he was at least a pound and a quarter.
