Nice fish Spoon! I caught a 1 3/4 crappie last spring pitching a 4" Chigger Craw into flooded buck brush in a foot of water here at Kentucky Lake. I was fishing for bass and when I felt the tap I set the 4/0 hook HARD, got him out of the brush and swung him in the boat. So much for paper mouths.
Worked for me this spring too. Got this 2lber on a bait made by my buddy from ohio, big joshy.

I catch a bunch of crappie on big crankbaits and 1/2 ounce spider grubs bass fishing every year. Caught a few last year that were no bigger than the crankbait. I think crappie sometimes get it in their head they are 5 times bigger than they are. My wife caught the biggest crappie I've ever seen on a 1/2 ounce spider grub at ky lake in 05. Was a 19" crappie, I thought she had a big largemouth by the way her rod was doubled over.
