Congrats Jay!!! So sweet and humble. I love the episodes where you shine in the spotlight!!! You and Granny need to do some more episodes together!!! You could be the "Slab Queens"!!!
Loved IT!!!! GREAT VID.I caught a crappie around 1987 in Lake NOCKAMIXON Pennsylvania and weighting in at 3lbs7ozs. I was 40 years old at the time. There were 2 friends I just recently met while at a job I got in a building supply warehouse. Found out couple weeks later, they were both really big fans of crappie fishing. When I told them about this Lake and how big these crappie were, they were all in. That's the day I caught that MONSTER!!! All together between the 3 of us we had 21 crappie, all over 12inches. i l
MY FAVORITE VIDEO YALL HAVE IS JAY AND GRANNY FISHING IN THE CANOE. GRANNY WAS ON FIRE. NEED ANOTHER ONE WITH THEM TWO AGAIN. GRANNY IS SO FUN WATCHING HER.
Cole: "This is what you want ... the slab doesn't fit in the slab checker." Too funny! Jay: "Are you sure this scale is right?" LOL!!! Better get that thing calibrated! And by the way ... Jay will always win the cooking contest .... She stirs the batter with her fingers which always makes it a lot sweeter! Love y'all! Blessings!
Holy slabs Batman..the Slab Queen has stricken again!! We must find her secrets!! Great job Jay! Awesome fish..Cole you caught some dern nice slabs yourself.. awesome day..great video..had an awesome time..thanks for the fun!
Omg I love you guys. I grew up on a lake in MN, full of crappies, sunfish, bass, redeyes (also called rock bass), perch, northern pike and muskies. But I was always focused on catching my mom crappies and sunnies because they were the best fried up! I've lived in Washington DC for 30 years now, no crappies here.
Cole, Jay is definitely the keeper, you're a very blessed dude and I hope you realize that and thank God for bringing her to you every night when you say your prayers before sleep. I really enjoy all your videos. I have you both in my prayers, though I think there's 3 of you now. God Bless you all.
This reminds me of my PB back in 1989, before they were sell weighing scales, so all I could do was measure it and it was 22 inches long! I was thinking I had a world record but less then a minute later my brother-in-law caught a 23 incher! Busted my bubble right quick. We caught 33 Crappy that day and none were smaller than 14 inches. There were 3 of us fishing. I don't know if my brother-in-law's fish was any good but mine was DELICIOUS!
Talks channel is my favorite!! I’ve watched others and it’s nothing near as good as y’all’s. I finally was able to get my sons and I some kayaks to go hit the river with and play around and catch some fish!!! God Bless and as always thanks u for such a wonderful video
I been watching yall doing your thing fishing;, those are some nice size crappie, I like the fact that your girl is right there with you in your video's. Best of luck to you both.
DEM SOME GOOD SLABS C/J!!! 👏!!! Few years ago I took my little sister bass fishing at a random farm pond and she ended up catching a 16” - 2.7lb crappie on a crankbait!!! It’s still the biggest one I’ve seen to date. Plus to beat it all that was her first fish she caught, But not her last lol
Slab Queen! That is awesome! Enjoying the "slab checker", that's pretty handy, so, when they don't fit, that's a good thing for the dinner table. I love big crappie, they certainly compete will with walleye and yellow perch regarding tastiness for table fare! Great job guys! Thanks!
A great video Cole n Jay. You have some fine catches there and you deserved them fishing in that weather. It brings memories back of sitting on the banking waiting for a fish to bite, with half my brain saying pack up and go home and the other half telling me to stay and I will catch one and then they will start to bite. They were good days though.
You should go to Greer's Ferry Lake, during the early summer. My sis and her husband had a cabin on a cove. I spent my vacation there, one year. We would get in the boat and go across the cove, right at dark. Using a depth finder, we would anchor next to a sunken creek bed. The creek bank was 10 - 12 ft. deep and the bottom of the creek was around 25 ft. deep. We would straight-line minnows, just off of the creek bottom. We didn't catch a lot of fish but some were around 3 1/2 - 4 lbs..We wouldn't keep anything under a pound. Every now and then, one of us would hook up with a 5 lb.+ hybrid. This was 40 years ago.
Congratulations, Jessica, on a completely awesome crappie -- I've never caught one that size. I think my best was 14 inches (not sure of weight). Great job! Love you two and thanks so much for sharing your adventures. God bless you both!
Cold water crappie is the best. A trick I use that you might want to try is bobber jigging. Set a bobber above the jigs to whatever depth you want for a super slow presentation.
It's CrappiZilla!! Also not quite fair, as stress causes them to lose a few oz's quickly, so I bet if that was weighed when it first come in, think it would have made that 'PB'! Man that is good eating..and LOVE the idea of the cookoff with Granny judging..only thing that isn't fair about that is I Want In On That! LOL, would like to make Granny a couple of my fav ways to make it..but truthfully, you can just salt and pepper crappie, hit w/some lemon juice when it comes out, and it's still excellent! Get Jay some cold weather fishing gloves please ;)
(No 3!) Just after one am here! Liked the pelicans! Great fishing; nice fish! Hum drum! They are beautiful fish! !- ★-★-★ -! Some don't want them in their dish! Put a small flag on boat somewhere!?! Will indicate wind direction! Collect angling/fishing badges!?! Are there any suitable museums you can do a video on!?! Jay/Jessica Very Happy with big fish!;- hope it will be encouraging to girls/ ladies and girl/lady anglers! "You (-Cole) forgot the scale!"... Jay nearly turned,- a whiter shade of pale!
That big one she caught was what we call a saddle blanket in southeast Texas also we call them white preach, and as for as those fresh water drums we also call them gasper goo's or goo's for short(lol) they would've have went in that cooler so fast, I love them. I sure enjoy seeing you all fish.
Love the video, yes that was a huge crappie. One problem though, during the intro when you both have those spiders crawling all over yuns, no no no!! Snakes, I don't mind, but spider no sir/ma'am!! 😆 🤣 😂
What a great video! You guys are tougher than me, I hurt too bad in the cold weather. I'm so glad yall were blessed with a boat. I'm still inclined to kayak fishing. Congratulations Jay on the Boss crappie! You had some nice catches too Cole! I can't believe yall have a 10" limit down there, unreal. NC kept an 8" limit too long and now have a no limit creel in many places because of it. I still can't get over the prejudice of the Black Drum these days, it blows my mind. I know I'm Old School, but Any Drum is a choice fish, as far as I'm concerned. It's all in how you handle them. A slurry of ice in a brine and a knife through the gills as soon as they are caught makes all the difference. Yes, it does require a medium size cooler to be carried. Sorry for the book here. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Scott We don’t have a size limit in Michigan, we can only catch 25 panfish in any combination except for Yellow Perch. Most Crappie here are stunted and we don’t catch very many big ones in my area.
Scott, Between Detroit and Lansing. Lots of lakes in the area but you have to have permission to fish private lakes to catch big Crappies. Occasionally someone will hit bigun’s on public access lakes but doesn’t happen often.
@@oldmanfred8676 yeah, but you have Muskee and Pike, right? I have met a lot of very nice people from up that way. My Chiropractor is from Flint. My ex-inlaws live in the UP. A lot of Finns up there. I couldn't imagine living up there the way they have to. But then I've heard the same thing about the heat and humidity down here.
Awesome catch. Next time when the the bite slows down try slow trolling behind the boat. Put the trolling motor on about 2 and cast out behind the boat and let the boat drag your baits , just criss cross the area you are fishing. I find that works well for me , Crappie tend to school and the school will move around. That might be why you will catch them for a while then they stop then they start biting again when the school comes back your way .
Beautiful slab Jay! You go with your bad self lol! Cole,you caught some nice ones too. I get so much fun out of watching you both fishing and talking smack,about who got the biggin. But your also very sweet and loving always patting each other’s back when you do good lol. I can’t wait every day to get on here to watch more great videos! Keep up the good videos,love you both and stay safe!
I once caught a two pound crappie, one and only one and that was a big crappie and big deal to me. I know other people catch them bigger but I never have. Congratulations Jay I wish I had ever caught one like that.
We just caught a bunch of 18 inch crappie thru the ice a few days ago !!! Must be a big crappie year ! I’ll see if I can get you a pic on instagram! Congratulations J !!!
Congrats Jay!!! So sweet and humble. I love the episodes where you shine in the spotlight!!! You and Granny need to do some more episodes together!!! You could be the "Slab Queens"!!!
Drums fight! When nothings biting. I find myself hoping for them! Lol
You are definitely the slab Queen. A beautiful one too.

The Slab King and Queen of 2020 goes to Cole and Jay Harken I love y'all. 🐟🐟
Fantastic show, great crappie. I can count on one hand the two pound crappie I have caught. It never gets old.
That bigger one is what we would call a Slab-O-Crappie! Some fine dinning!
Great catch
Holy Smokes! That is a great catch, so happy for you!!
You came back with a vengeance!!
Nice fishing guys! Good take home catch. Thanks for sharing.
That is a beast of a Crappie! 2.3 is awesome. Congrats.
Holy Moly !!! Jay you took the words right out of my mouth.
To the Slab Queen, congratulations nice fish.
LOVE THE NEW INTRO!!! So easy. I do miss Jay's beautiful smile right after the beaver tail slap! But the new one fits you guys as well!!

I knew it was her time to shine with a new PB baby C is giving her luck

Now, that is a big crappie! Slab Queen done good!
I keep expecting Jay to catch an ever BIGGER one than the first! That would be a surprise!
Very nice white crappie !! I’ve had my best luck with a pearl or pink jig - give m a try!
Way to Go Jay. Thank you and Cole for teaching me more about catching crappie. Thank you guys for being you.
Hi, I haven't the chance right now to finish this video but I am proud of you for landing this fish...go Gal!

James,
Love the Bass pan fried.
Tell them fellas in the boat Shhhhhh lol Nice fish guys.
Y'all two are just plain "AWESOME!!!!" God Bless and "Keep Hookin'em!!!"
Been using one of those crappie checker for years. They sure make it easy to measure. Hail Queen Jessica
