Went to Anderson and the Crappie bite was on! I was bass fishin' with a 1/4 oz. grub (3 1/2 in.) and accidentally started catching very good sized Crappie. While reeling in about my 15th fish a huge largemouth (maybe 15 pounds or more) attacked my Crappie with lightning quick speed and basically scaled my fish. Because this Crappie was pretty big the hook did not penetrate and the Bass had to let it go. Amazingly, it followed the fish all the way up to me and seemed to wait as I watched in awe! Out of curiousity I lowered the Crappie back in the water to see how he/she would react, but all it did was stare/smell my catch and non-challantly disappear into the deep. What an experience! A great predator, indeed!
