Thread: What’s the biggest fish you caught while crappie fishing?

Ten and a half pound bass caught over brim beds with a brim. She kept rushing in trying to get a brim. So we rigged a bass hook through the lips of a small dead brim and put it in the middle of the beds and waited until she came back. Didn't take long and Bam.
At age thirteen that was a blast!

I caught a 47lb blue in Wylie with a 1/4oz jig and 6lb Ande fishing line. On a 10’ uglystick crappie pole lol

51lb flathead on 16’ southern crappie rod

I have boated 2 cats while crappie fishing that were quite a surprise. One was 30# and the other was 31.5#. I caught the 30 on a 10ft crappie rod and 4# test line. The 31.5 was caught on a 12 ft rod and 6# test line. Both were caught tightlining on 1/32nd oz jigheads. They put up quite the fight. Luckily I had a buddy in the boat with the 30lber but I was solo with the other. That was a 45 min ordeal and I'm sure it was quite the spectacle for others watching....

10.5 lb. striper is this years best

Mine was Greenwood also. I was shooting docks and foul hooked what turned out to be a 19# carp.
We had to feed my pole under 2 pilings to get away from the dock. He was hooked in the tail and gave me a fit. This was a busy Saturday afternoon and i had quite a gallery watch the battle. It took about 15-20 minutes to wear him down.
It was plain luck using 4# test mono and a light crappie jig, p!us he ran through two pilings before he got to open water.
