It make three for me, but a personal best. It's always been in the fall/winter. I was fishing small brush pile in 22 FOW catching a few 10-11" crappie. Look over about 10' from the boat an a crappie floating on top with a fish in his month. Troll over and picked it up.

I had a large Cat grab a smaller cat one time when I was fishing but that is about it for me. Cool story, thanks for sharing.
Well, I've seen that but never with near that big of a shad. That crappie was hungry! What lake were you on?
i've seen a few bass like that, largest i've come across was large mouth bass about 12lbs or so with another large mouth bass stuck struggling on top of the water, separated the 2 and put them back in them back into the water and swam away. guess fish's instinct to eat whatever size fish they can get in their mouth's even if it results in them choking to death
IkenI, I was on a small lake up by Guthrie, OK ( 200 acres ).
This is why I don't see the necessity of fishing with tiny 1/32 jigs and such. Easier to fish with a heavier jig, and the crappie have no problem eating them.
Have seen that twice but with bass and like previous post separated them and they swam away. During the Tenkiller Tournament in Carlisle Cove I had a good tournament crappie on and my partner getting ready to net her when a very large bass hit her two times and took her away from me. My partner and I just sit there with our mouths open in shock. A 14" crappie eaten by a bass and I needs her more than the bass did.....Ranger
Ranger, the crappie swam away in my LW. When home didn't have any 7.5" baits with me.
Thats awesome, one time I pulled 11 fish out of a single crappie. EB
EB, you sure that wasn't a mammal crappie with 11 little ones. Maybe four in one crappie is the most I ever remember, but you catch a lot bigger crappie than I do.
wife and i saw it this summer. this crappie had a small crappie caught in it's mouth. thought it was going to die so i put it the live well. when i got home the small one was out of it's mouth.
I was playing with a little chip crappie one time that was barely hooked on my minnow rig trying to get him to come off the hook right at the boat without bringing him in the boat when a huge largemouth came from the depths and took him off the hook for me. The largemouth hit the crappie head first... I guess is the only way he avoided the cold steel of my hook. It freaked me out seeing it happen so suddenly and unexpectedly and with a big splash of his tail he was gone to the depths as quickly as he appeared. I'm glad he missed the hook, because more than likely the way he caught me so off guard... he would have prolly took rod and all with him.
Found a dead snake with a crappie lodged in its mouth once.
Many years ago on a small private lake in E Tx, the kids were catching perch so we took a few and used them for trout line bait. Next morning found that a crappie had taken the perch and a big black bass has taken the crappie. All three still together when we pulled up the line! Still wish we'd had a camera!
Great story Okie Bob, I wish you would have had a camera also (that would have been a great photo) .........
Once in Canada while walleye fishing I hooked a fish and all of the sudden it felt really big. Pulled it up to the boat and was a 1+lb walley with a in the mouth of an 8+ lb Northern pike. Wish phone cameras were available 20 yrs ago.
