MY BIGGEST FISH OF 2019!!! (Winter “Crappie Fishing” Surprise Catch)
Bank fishing in FREEZING weather on a big lake in Virginia!
The conditions were tough with winds piercing through my clothes, but I stuck it out and was rewarded with a bunch of good sized crappie.
After 6 hours of enduring the conditions and hooking into crappie after crappie, I finally hooked into what was to be my biggest fish of 2019 thus far!
How I picked this spot: I was watching some fishing videos (I do this nightly before bed) and noticed my buddy SBFishingTV fishing on this particular lake from a boat. He didn’t do particularly well that day but using all the information I gathered from his video, I thought I could put together a plan to catch some fish from the bank!

P.S. Matt from SBFishingTV is doing a 3 month tour to catch fish from EVERY state in the U.S. if you’re interested in following the action check out his channel!
