Gene...a crappie is going to eat anything that swims by it that will fit in it's mouth. White crappie will eat 4-5 inch drum. I was a little skeptical of that until I found a 6-inch drum wedged in a white crappies mouth in Harrison Bay. They were both still barely alive on top of the water. I pulled the drum out of it's mouth and it swam off but the crappie didn't survive. In this case it bit off a little more than it could chew. It was eye opening for me as to what size fish a crappie would try to eat.

Let me know how those chunky black crappie like them down there on your home lake Dickie. I started experimenting with them when I saw just how big of a bait fish a crappie would eat. I have mainly just used them for verticle fishing in colder water.
