One of the smaller hybrids I caught was very skinny also. I hope it is just a fluke, but it does bother me to see fish in that kind of shape. We used a Flitterbait a little and caught two crappie. One was caught on the big Flitterbait and was just a little bigger than the bait. I cant wait to use the big Flitterbait on Lake Cumberland this fall. I can't wait till the big Flitterbait is ready.
