Caught them on a 1/16 crappie jig with 6# line. We hung four buffalos in all that morning but only managed to get two in the boat. One of the ones that got off would have easily gone 30 #'s! He ran off the hundred plus yards of line on the spinning reel and broke the line. My son played him for about 20 minutes before that happened though. I guess they rub up against the line or the jig and we see the pole quiver a little thinking it is a Crappie. When we snatch it up they are snagged in a fin, tail, side, ect.... Those sickle hooks don't play around....Sharp!!! We catch quite a few buffalo in the river lakes that way.....we just look at it as a bonus!
