No, but the cough drops helped me quit chewing tobacco, lol.  The lake I catch them on has a current in it. I target the muddy areas right after it transitions from rock or sand. Also along the banks where it is undercut around the current. I have caught bluegill with them but no crappie. I use worms and small dark colored jigs usually deep near the bottom but not always.

Very Nice!  Are sugar free cough drops your secret?  I am on a mission to ice some known big redear near home.  If you don't mind telling, what do you catch them on?  Do they frequent similar haunts that gills and crappie do?

Man what a redear! Piggish!

I didn't get to weigh it. I didn't have anything to keep it in and no scale. There was a catch and release record of 12 inches on the lake so I went ahead and measured it (Conservatively 12.5") and let it go. The state catch and release record is 12.75" so I am looking for the 13 incher that I know is out there.  The one my daughter caught in my profile pic was 12.5" as well.

What a hog!  Did you weigh it?
