DB, can't tell you how many 6+lbs bass I've caught using crappie ultra lite rigs and tackle!

Bob D,
You would have laughed your butt off! His head was too big to fit in my little Crappie net. I knew the only chance I had was to grab him through the gills but figure as soon as I did, he'd go crazy. He tried to tear my arm off and drenched me in water, but I got him in the kayak. Tore my hand up pretty good also on his gills but I've got a good story and a picture to prove it, LOL!
What's funny is everyone gives me a hard time about my ultralight rods, light line and tiny baits. I always say I catch more fish, and the size doesn't seem to suffer, at least for Crappie. Well, he hit a tiny 2" grub body on a Z-Man Micro Finesse ShroomZ Jighead in 1/30oz. You can hook a 2" bluegill in the mouth it's so small. You just have to slow down, work the water and get it in front of a fish.

I usually get several every year between 4 and 6 pounds, mainly in the fall or winter for some reason.
Come get in the boat with me

Had a older gentleman hook maybe what turned out to be a 8# flathead on 12' duck commander in the mouth of Cotaco. He kept hollering get the net. I just kept the camera rolling and watched it unfold. Good times

I seem to catch one or two Flathead a year on jigs. Always happens in the fall, not sure why. If I can keep them out of the brush and get them to the kayak, they always come home to the grease!
