troyfideldy Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sorry guys, my bro wanted me to post his hawg. He caught it on a waxi fishing bluegills. I threw a crappie the same size in our bait bucket. I thought it would be good spearing bait. My bro told me that it would be illegal to transport the fish alive. I laughed said that I would tell the officer that is was a crappie minnow and was just bait. I did let it go. Anyone else got some "big" fish picts?

jwhjr Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've been putting off a trip to Red because I heard the crappies weren't big enough, but that picture has changed my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Sandberg Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I've got crappies in my minnow bucket I can see through. That one above is something amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnUpTheFishing Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 That bull gill really put my tackle to the test!Actually I caught about a pound pike and he managed to wrap himself in about 5 pounds of weeds and a few of the fingerling 'gills got stuck in the weeds.Ive actually hooked smaller, on a crankbait! Actually snagged is a better way to put it. I snagged two sunnies about the same size on one crankbait this past summer. Only time Ive got two fish on crankbait...
