On a side note, of all the times I've fished Monksville, I've never hooked up with a Crappie, much less one this respectable. Anyone else ever catch these guys here?

I have never fished Monksville but can tell you that big crappies like topwater. My PB of 2 lbs. hit a popper back in July and I have had several other similar experiences.
