[davehu]

heres some crappie and gill pics from the last few years. love to fish and eat them. in a few pics theres some bass. i catch and release bass but the owner wanted the small bas out so we kept a few. these were caught in ohio indiana and misissippi.

Those are some monster fish. What's your main bait?

Bait doesnt matter, crappie will hit just about anything, it's about finding them first Josh

Those are some monster hybrids though!

wow  stellar!

i fish mainly minnow a slip float for crappie. some curly tails and crappie jigs. there may be a few hybrid gills but the crappie are all crappie. we fish granada lake,enind lake in mississippi and there are monster slaps in those lakes. enind is where the world record crappie is from.

Outstanding!

Did you catch any 4+?

With crappie and bluegill that size, I could almost see myself giving up bass.

Nah, but I'd target them a lot less.  Nice fish dude!

Oh sorry I should have specified, I meant the hybid crappie, I see some white black and white/blacks in the mix, typically hybrids get bigger than their parents, I think the hybrid record is over 6#

never heard of hybrid crappies. just black, white crappies. then the black nose crappies.  but anyway there a blast to catch and better to eat. i hardly fish bass in prespawn. i would rather catch crappie and gills then fish for bass after there done spawning.

I have to agree with you there,a crappie on an UL is fun when the bass aint biting! and yes they are delicious!

link is asking for a password... but as I tend to catch plenty of bream/bluegill in the 8-12" range, I am assuming that is rare farther up north..
