A 15" crappie on March 25 is cheating, but then you do live down there in semi-perpetual heat. You must not have any wind down your way today. Up here I stay indoors cause the wind is blowing hard enough that when it hits you in the face it takes the wrinkles out of willie. More than winter I am tired of wind but I'd go fishing in the wind for 15 inch crappies if they were black ones. Our 15" black crappies haven't quite woke up yet. Another two weeks....then maybe the wind will have come down your way.
Good that you get out and exercise. This getting old stuff is only worse if you don't keep exercised. Congrats on the fish.
