Always enjoy watching a MBV !

Excellent video mr baker!

[@kennethlangford5797]

Does anybody know if there's ever been a mortality study on crappie. Are they a resilient sturdy fish. I used to fish Smithville lake quite a bit and I've noticed that lots of 8 inch crappie have been caught multiple times but I can't think of too many bigger fish that have torn mouths. Anyway another great video Mike thanks for posting.

[@loydsharbono9704]

You guys hair-lipped some nice crappie. Must have been lots of fun. I wish I had Live Scope, but my bank account vetoed that idea. I'm curious about what you think: how many of the fish y'all caught today would you have found and caught without live scope?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Hard to say.

[@charlieweems6094]

Nice video Mike. It’s almost longlining time 😊

[@bigjack5974]

Longlining is coming soon, right?

[@kurtbrockman3773]

Mike, traveling in from out of state the end of April. Would it be too early to try trolling on LOZ in about 10 days?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

No. People are catching them now. I plan to troll some crankbaits as soon as I get the chance.

[@kurtbrockman3773]

@@MikeBakerVideos Thank you for your reply. Its been a long time for us to get a chance to fish there. Looking forward to it and your posts are great.

[@charlieweems6094]

Mike, what is the weight Charlie is using and how is it rigged?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

1/2 oz. pencil weight pegged with two bobber stops.

[@tacohell]

These roamer fish... Are they usually static in one place or moving to a destination?

[@MikeBakerVideos]

Moving around.
