David ,unusual perhaps ,but I once caught a 10"Crappie on a #4 Blue Fox Spinner which I thought was a big bait for the fish. It was an April Fish so it might have been protecting a nest . It did come out of sand/gravel area so I really think that was the case .

Hi I've had good luck with the Rapala chrome blue R N R-5 Rattle tarp on bass, now I know where the lakes and ponds with crappie are I will have to give it a try on them, it has been a killer on bass. also Bill Lewis Rattle traps work good too.

I think a rattle trap must be unusual, right? I mean, it makes sense considering their predatory nature.
I wonder how many things had to come together to make that happen.

Sorry John I didnt weigh it, and I cant fib about this one. It actually hit a silver&black rattle trap. Hit it like a bass!! I think it was late spring, early summer. caught in that spot 2 lake i posted pics of. Wish it would have hit a jig on an ultralight, but it didnt BUT DONT TELL ANYONE OUR SECRET!!!!!

As I recall my 16" was a spring fish and weighed 2lbs.and the 16.5 was an October fish caught on a shiner and weighed 2,1/2 lbs. Do you recall what your 17' weighed and what season it was caught in and what it hit? Always like to know these things!

Me too Andy ! My best from my local lake is 14 " and I've caught a few 13" and 13".5 at another nearby lake .In the 80's I caught a 16" and a 16.5 but haven't seen them that big since. I love getting into them in large numbers with jigs and a few fishin' buddies!
