Looks way much like a Democrat to me...........
Thats one ugly critter! I'll tell you what, drop all the affected crappie off at my house and I'll take care of those little buggers for you. :biggrin
This one was about 9" long.
Creek you should have pinched its ugly head off and battered it and fried it up. Might have been the next big thing in the food world, you never know.
I think you shoulda put it on a hook and dropped it down. If nothing bit it, maybe it would latch on to another fish. Or maybe you should get it mounted. 9 inches is probably near trophy size. What is the state record on those? That makes a nifty measuring device also. It would put that crappie at least 14 inches long. Nice fish.
Biggest one I've ever seen came off a catfish we pulled off a bank/limb line. I started back up the bank thinking it was a snake!
Saw one today on Degray for the first time. Saw it attached to a bream.
