It was wandering in about 28' of water. We were in a 31' hole on a big lake which is what we look for to find Crappies in big bodies of water. This guy was "skirting" the edges of the hole. I was "hole hopping" as we call it and marked this guy and got my tungsten jig down in time for him to see and smack it.... Now I wanna get out of this stuffy office and go to that spot to catch more! :)

Great ice Gill Nate! How deep and what that beauty hit?

Thanks.... I don't know what it is but I'd be next to my friends catching gills and I would always nab the crappies (using the same lures/tactics) the difference this time was that I was over in a corner on my own with no other jigs for this bad boy to choose from....:)
