Biggest crappie you have hooked but got off before you could land him?

[JDavid]

OK, I'll have a shot at a record. My ship pulled into Mombassa Kenya, We were anchored out in the harbor about 3 miles, I was bottom fishing off the fantail with 20 lb test and 5/0 hook with a hamburger pattie smothered in mustard, I got a tremendous bite and got it to the surface before the line broke, I got a real good look at it, it was about 3 feet long, I swear it was a Crappie, how do I know it was a crappie, well it looks just like the picture of one in the dictionary. By the way, I haven't actually landed a Crappie yet, but I dang sure know what one looks like, their kinda silvery colored with some fins and smell like fish.

Shoulda used ketchup- makes em hold on longer.

Pickles?! Twelve pounds?! Come on now totem, everyone knows you have to use onion rings to catch the really big bream. (20 pounds and up) (coated in mayonnaise of course {the onion rings, not the bream})

Come'on, I know all about the mayo/onion thing, but remember, I only had 20 lb test on the cane pole i was using.

Last week I had one break my line! I was Kayak fishing and was able to bring the fish up to the side of the boat and identified it as a LARGE crappie how big I am not sure but big enough to snap my line.

20 lbs test?!! Cane pole?!!!! Good gawd man! What were you trying to catch? A 1,000 lbs great white shark? I use 1.246374 pound test and a pocket fisherman on anything up to 50 pounds. Have to give them some kind of chance......
