I'm used to fishing for brookies and bass up here, and they darned near pull the rod out of your hand when they hit. Every time I'm down in Georgia to see my family they take me crappie fishing, and I have to "reset" my entire routine in order to catch anything. Crappie are sure good eating though - it just takes a delicate touch to detect a hit then set the hook without pulling it right out of their mouth.
Good luck and I hope you snag your limit!
That's another activity I just don't get. The fish market's right down the street. Can get som new deboned filets for $3.70. Seems like fishing for food is a bit of a hassle.
