2 Fisherman, 1 Ice Hole, 1 Massive School of Crappies

[MN Bassfisher]

On Black Friday (11/28/14) my fishing partner Ryan and I took to the ice in Central Minnesota in search of some nice sized Crappies. We spent a good portion of the early afternoon chasing a roaming school of Crappies. We would catch 1-2 nice ones and then have to move holes with the fish. This all changed when we found ourselves on top of a massive school of nice quality Crappies. We didn't want to spook them by punching another hole so we team fished out of the same hole for over 45 minutes.

You're a better man than me. I would of told my buddy to go find his own school of crappies. J/K. I would of drilled a hole close by. Had this happen last year when we found a big school. Only lasted a few minutes though.

Awesome video!!

Nice video & narration.  Good numbers of Crappie too... but in Ohio, we have a minimum 9 inch size limit.  Think most of them would have to be released.  Regardless, thanks for video and your efforts.

We kept a few 9 inchers early on when the bite went a bit cold but all the fish on the ice from the hot hole were 10-12". Anything over that is always released by me.

Nice work! Getting on a feeding school like that isn't the easiest!

Nice video! Voiceover sounded NPRish (good voice!), and I thought I also heard microSpikes as you were walking from hole to hole.

Haha yeah anytime I don't record the audio with the video it comes across that way. Good Ear! I have been putting my Kahtoola's to use this season, most of the time I use cleats once or twice and then the lakes are covered with snow but I've used them 9 times this year and don't see that changing anytime soon. The microSpikes are awesome!
