my biggest bass I ever caught (8.5 bucketmouth) came from a wacky style rigged worm. Crappie though? You gotta be kidding me...
Today I wanted a break and went down to my dock and took a Zoom finesse worm rigged wacky style on one of my spinning rods and guess what? I caught my first even crappie on a wacky worm, LOL! I couldn't believe it. I had given up on the cast and about the same time I started to reel it in he slammed it. Had to pull him out of the bushes and grass and had no clue it was a crappie until I got him close and saw him for the first time.
It is probably about 3' deep where he hit.

LMAO!!! Nice catch. Guess he was hungry.
I've caught big crappie on a Texas rigged worm before. I can believe that when they want something there gonna hit it. How big was it?

This is my first year for crappie i have never fished for them before and so far even tho i have been fishing for them this spring i have caught more last year out of bluegill brush piles on a live night crawler than i have all year fishing fort them
That happened to me 2 years or so ago.I put on a 4" salt and pepper worm wacky rigged and this Bass pond we fish. I casted and it hit the water I felt a light tough and set it hook .I thought a had weeds but,up can a 15" Crappie.I just bearly had him hooked trough the lip!
I guess there's a first time for everything. I caught one once on a jerk bait that was almost as long as the crappie.
Good going there, crappie on a worm LOL

I ended up letting him go so I didn't actually measure him, but I would say he was over 15" and nice and thick. He didn't look to be full of eggs so may have been a large male.Originally Posted by crappiencali
BTW the worm was a Red Bug color and I still can't believe he took and so aggressively.
Are those finesse worms similar to Powerbait or Exude trout worms (skinny 4")?
Just curious, cause I have some of those and am always looking to try new ways to catch crappie.
