The SUN DISAPPEARED while we were Crappie fishing!

We headed to the lake to fish during the 2024 solar eclipse. The lake has had very tough fishing with fluctuations in water levels and constant fronts. We tested the bite during and after the eclipse.

[@NaturalStateFishing]

Beautiful mess of fish guys! That eclipse was an awesome experience! Looked like a fun trip out.

[@RaisedOutdoors]

It was pretty neat watching the baitfish come alive instantly, unfortunately the boat drifted past the fish before I got tied on 😆

[@WholeOtherLevelOutdoors]

The eclipse was way cooler than I expected it to be. Good mess of crappie. ✌️ 🎣 🙏 Glenn, did you get that boat from Conway by chance?

[@RaisedOutdoors]

No we bought it in Hot Springs around 3yrs ago. I was pretty cool, I didn’t look at it but the sudden changes was cool

[@DroningVeteran]

Good times and great memories made. Thanks for sharing.

[@RaisedOutdoors]

They had a blast

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

That was cool and you caught some nice fish! Thank you for sharing my friends!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Appreciate it! It was pretty cool

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

That's old school mixing up the live well with all them different breeds, i absolutely loved it! Reminds me of how I grew up. Papa said it'll eat, throw it in the well! 🎣

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Absolutely! Appreciate it

[@SlicksOutdoors]

I’m pretty sure you missed 7 while tying on that new jig. 😂

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I’m pretty sure you’re correct lol. I was distracted by the baitfish and the fact Conar let us drift past them 😆

[@positiveoutdoorsoutreach]

[@RaisedOutdoors]

[@Fishing_with_Domingo]

Good day of fishing! That was cool when the sun disappeared like that. I was fishing but went home and went back out afterwards. Cool you guys experienced that. So cool!!👍💯🎣

[@RaisedOutdoors]

It was a pretty cool experience

[@OfftheHookOutdoors99]

Nice video! The sun disappeared here to! That’s weird 😂😂

[@RaisedOutdoors]

[@TheShotOutDoors]

By far one of the best videos yet!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Except the guy in the back of the boat lol

[@outsideourlane4295]

Love the mix bag!!! Not many guys box mixed fish like that anymore, love seeing some real true outdoorsmen!!! Keep em coming!!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

There are times we are selective but in hard days we just keep em all lol

[@tothemaxxoutdoors4771]

Nice to see the old man trash talking 😂. Nice little haul for the eclipse 👍

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I had to cut a lot of it out lol. Didn’t want folks to think I was just mean 😂

[@joangeddes380]

Awesome video 👋🥰🤗👍🐟🐠🎣

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@coopsoutdoors2428]

Some good fish. Nice mixed bag. Yeah, I'm finally back on here.

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Hey Coop!

[@TheWaterSwatters]

I almost went bowfishing during that eclipse but had to stay on call for work.

[@IndianHemlock]

What a great memorable way to spend the eclipse!! Boy that got really dark there !! It didn’t get that dark for us in Pa but I did feel the temp drop ! Nice catches guys !! Cool video 👍🏻🎣

[@RaisedOutdoors]

It really did get dark here. It was a unique experience. Really appreciate the support

[@billreddochoutdoors5968]

Good job guys!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Thanks Bill!

[@Dark30Outdoors]

I didn’t realize y’all had pickerel down that way! Always a bummer to break off at a great spot! Some big slab crappie!!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Loads of them. In 1973 they put Northern Pike in that lake because of it’s often cool water but that experiment failed lol

[@woodystrapping]

Sweeeeeeeet slabs! I've got to get busy😁👍

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Good time to be fishing

[@LifeofMurphysOutdoorsChannel]

Awesome video guys!! Dang crazy that the sun disappeared here too!! Naw seriously it was neat!! Definitely would have loved to been out fishing when this was going on haha, but Shawn just couldn’t take off and didn’t really need to take the kids out of school. But hearing everyone’s experience and the excitement especially from the kids was cool in itself!! Again great video!! (Shawn saw it at work(He works for the water department at Highland Industrial Park. They got all the workers glasses and bags that had candy, snacks & drinks(like starburst, moonpies, etc.) lol the girls saw it at school(we had to sign a permission slip for them to see it at school) the school had glasses and stuff for the kids. They also made it into a fun learning day for them. Me(Jessie) and our Mamaw just kinda chilled out the house and watched how everything changed outside. Shawn took video of it by putting his phone up to a pair of glasses lol(that’s how we posted a couple of videos)

[@RaisedOutdoors]

That’s awesome! I really appreciate it

[@JumbleTronChannel]

Kind of a neat time to be out on the water. I heard from another channel the fish were going nuts during the eclipse. Seems like it definitely got them acting up one way or another. Nice catches👍

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I think it’d have been a lot better had they not dropped our water out

[@littleriveroutdoorsman6514]

I wondered how the fishing would be. I also wondered if the turkeys would gobble. 👍

[@RaisedOutdoors]

The bait fish went crazy. I think had they not dropped the water out it would have been really good

[@BudBanksOutdoors]

First cast hung up! My luck but it got really dark there compared to here in Illinois where we are visiting!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

It definitely got dark! We drifted past where I wanted to be and thought I’d throw at a top. I threw short I thought but there was a long limb running out into the water lol

[@norcarwhitetails8885]

Good ol eclipse crappie!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

They were tough though lol

[@fortyninemore]

👍👍

[@richardbray7893]

Is that a 1648 if so what size trolling motor do you have?

[@RaisedOutdoors]

@@richardbray7893 it’s a 1754 with a 50lb thrust 12 v trolling motor ran in parallel

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Have a great day

[@RaisedOutdoors]

You as well

[@newviewhunting]

Good video! Are they camo seats or camo covers?

[@RaisedOutdoors]

They are covers that come on tracker boats. They are little faded lol

[@newviewhunting]

@@RaisedOutdoors The cover may fade, but your passion for fishing won't diminish!

[@DallionShefferFishing]

I wanted to fish so bad yesterday lol

[@RaisedOutdoors]

It was cool being out there but we talked to several people and the bite was still tough. A couple people with livescope caught a little better on deep suspended crappie but it definitely wasn’t fire for anyone
