Fishing Shallow Crappie with Micro Swimbaits

[@NinjasGoFishing]

THIS is why you're my favorite Googan! You fish Crappie when they're biting and you explain every little detail on tactics and gear. I'm pretty sure you're the one pushing for the Googan Crappie stuff and that's why when you come out with them, you will have my support! Hell Yeah LFG!

[@FlintRiverFishin]

Alex L I agree 100%

[@amorton94]

You're only "pretty sure" that LFG is the one pushing for Googan Crappie products? lol

Been working at the fish hatchery all day, waist deep in fry. LFG is the only person who can make me not sick of looking at fish today😂

"Sniff" that was put so eloquently lmao. Truer words have never been spoken.

[@JR-13]

Same!

[@jonnygranville281]

3:20 it must be so fun to have a box full of baits to experiment with and get the baits made that you like and have success with. The Googan squad has done some pretty awesome stuff.

[@rjbrown6942]

Was thinking the same thing and there so expensive now.

[@chrisbraun11]

Congrats on 1 million subs LFG. You're one of my favorite KZbinrs, I can relate to so much of the activities you do. Keep it up!

[@mariojaviercasas6664]

Those are actually white crappie. They get that way when there in full spawn mode. You can actually see the white bars going vertically, while black crappie have more specks. Tight lines and great content LFG 👌

[@jordans5674]

He literally explains this in the video about halfway through. The crappie in Ray Roberts hybridized a while back. Most of what he caught are blacks that have some hybrid blood in them, but judging by how dart the tails and fins are, those are black slabs

[@amorton94]

Imagine thinking you need to explain what fish a man is catching that has a degree in biology and fishes for a living. 😂

[@mariojaviercasas6664]

@@amorton94 I guess trolls are all over this content...I guess a biology degree means you can't make a human mistake because you're perfect! My mistake for thinking he's human and could be wrong lol trolls

[@amorton94]

@@mariojaviercasas6664 You're the troll here bud, not I. You should also know, Mr.SelfRighteous, that counting the dorsal spines is the proper way to identify crappie. As has already been explained to you by another comment, most of these are hybrids. Hardly a mistake in identifying them as either-or. Keep being fun. 👍

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Enjoy going back to spring time fishing vlogs in Winter. We appreciate you sir!

[@elibanks9542]

A common mistake that I am also previously guilty of is calling those crappie “black crappie”. They are actually just make white crappie that are what’s referred to as “tuxedoed up”. They get black like that during the spawn!

[@brittgardner7201]

I think they are the prettiest ones though.

[@maglures4623]

thank you for explaining this I hope people will read this and know the difference now.

[@tobygarrison7425]

I was just thinking the same thing when he was calling them black crappie.

[@mariojaviercasas6664]

I got trolled for calling them white crappie and correcting a common mistake...people have nothing better to do. I'm glad other people agree with me that they get like that during spawning time but they are white crappie. Thank you.

[@JonBecker81]

Those were all black crappie except for a few. Even when they aren’t dark like that they’re still black crappie. The white crappies just have the vertical stripes.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Crappie fishing is so underrated its the best!!!

[@alanwelch6594]

Every real fisherman can remember the magic of fishing their first crappie spawn. It becomes a spring ritual. Great watching you indulge in that ritual. Love your videos.

[@tleb8111]

It's hard to leave when the fish are bitting. I could watch this all day!

[@chanzit4457]

love! crappie fishing especially on a light rod or Fly rod

[@isurrender3640]

LFG Crappie fishing is EXACTLY what I needed today!

[@ReubenOaks84]

Looked like a perfect day out on the water crappie catching.

[@THEOBJECT1VE]

This is why I love your videos. The diversity in your fishing is beyond any level. You kill it every time no wonder what fish it is.

[@geneyarnall3736]

Nice day indeed! Nothing like golden crispies with the occasional big bass on light tackle. Added thrill to the fight!

[@weseastham1210]

It’s always fun when the golden crispies are playing a tune on your line. Fun blog! Thanks

[@expomm]

Can’t stop watching fish after fish, awesome day

[@a.perkins89]

Gotta love the calm voice of LFG at the end of your day.

[@mbadurik10]

LFG is my hero!

[@jordans5674]

Dang it LFG… this used to be my favorite crappie spot, thanks for giving our secret spot away!😆 Being displaced out of state with the Army, I love when you make videos on Ray Roberts, gives me that feel of home. Keep doing your thing Justin, it means a lot more to some than you realize.🤙

[@EoffZooStaff]

I learned alot on this outing!!! also my mouth is watering picturing the golden crispys.....

[@darrenwilkes3798]

Hey fishin freak, love the videos on mixed bag days. Fished bass tournaments for years and now taking a break to pan fish some. Keep up the great work.

[@chrishaley5257]

Looks like a blast! Nothing like a pile of good ole crappie! Golden crispy time!!

[@rougaroux2359]

LakeForkGuy to be honest pal there are two people that I watch here on the Tube that I would like to Crappie fish with. Bro you are the first on the list. The main reason you are in the first spot is because you and I fish a lot alike. Bro thanks for the Crappie videos.

[@robertboyer42]

I can watch you crappie fishing all day!!

[@bjleibee8932]

Great video! I would love to see some more videos of you and your dad. I lost my dad 20 years ago when I was a young man and I just love the vibe from those videos….

[@xYLethal]

Can’t wait for them googan crappie plastics! Love these crappie videos

You are my spirit animal my friend.

[@jakegrantham509]

Don’t be afraid to set the hook a little bit. They are referred to as paper mouths, but I have caught them on a fluke and a medium heavy. My favorite is a light rod so that I can get a solid hook set but without ripping it out of their mouth. Great video

[@tylermiller6271]

I can't wait tell yall get stuff for crappie fishing

[@michaelskelton867]

Love it when you fish for Crappie. Really any fish because I believe we can see the happiness fishing can provide for anyone. You resonate good vibes and are a teacher with purpose without you knowing. Thank you for making these video's that make my day better.

[@wayneknicely1873]

I'm with you on a good Crappie slam and bonus 3 and 4 lbs bass on a light Crappie rig!?! Perfect day and the best, arguably, lake fish to eat.

[@livinglife4309]

I also loved taking the fly rod out for them when they spawned. It was a fun switch up. Just put on anything white hair fly. They loved the color white.

[@nathandowney813]

I need those micro boot tail plastics! Those are money!

[@alanwilliams5836]

Awesome crappie day! The bonus bass is beyond words. Interested in the new rod... seems to be working out well so far. Crappie have always been my favorite... from cane pole with live minnows as a kid to today's micro jigs... love it all. Can't beat some golden crispys either! Thanks for sharing Justin.

[@michaeldoucetsr.8704]

And we thank you for sharing the baits and line info to. God bless.

[@livinglife4309]

I love spawn crappie fishing! There was a "lake" I used to fish and they lined the shores with the old brick from the roads when they tore them out and the crappie loved spawning in them brick layed shore beds.

[@cordellhron600]

Favorite time of year! Love to get out on the water and catch me some big crappies!!

[@waynewade6723]

One of my favorite episodes is you and your dad in Canada. Trolling for smallmouth in The kayaks and you stumbled onto a crappie bite. You ended up with a stringer of 14 to 16 inchers!!!

[@whitey2shotpewpew825]

You should give trolling for crappie a try. Throw your jig 20-30 feet out the back of the boat. Troll around 2mph. It's more of a surprise bite. It's pretty fun.

Absolutely tore em 🆙

[@simeonberns2639]

Amazing! hoping to get a chance this spring to get on those Crappie! Looks so fun!

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

A weighted slip bobber can help a lot on windy days and let you be more accurate casting. And it provides less resistance to the fish so they don't feel it as easy.

[@mikegray-ehnert3238]

Love crappies! Friend has a mount of three slabs that he caught by accident, he left his poles in his boat at his dock overnight and came down the next morning to find his rods had caught 3 giant crappies! They are one a stringer like yours.

[@TheJonGreco]

I know that you guys at GOOGAN are making developing reels. Make sure that you guys have a trigger on your open face spinning reels. It's really nice to be able to cast with one hand and it is really nice to use when you do a lot of casting.

[@steel-city1992]
