When your spider rigging for crappie, set the hook on a bouncing rod tip and it takes drag and heads for the bottom, chances are it's not a crappie!

Flathead? Looks to be about 1/2 the size of the one that broke off next to my boat last Sunday. Good job getting it to the net.
Been there done that, good job landing it!!!
Good eating too.:thumbup:
I'd taken a friend out for his birthday and I got the present. Got 13 nice crappie an the flathead out of 62 degree water. What is the water temperature on Ky?
Mid week there was some 66+ water in some coves.
Them kittyKatz will wrap up a spider riggin setup in a hurry...!!
:yikes
Great fish...

I was lucky, it was on an outside rod. So how long after the spawn do you wait to start pulling crankbaits mrdux? I was able to find some 3oz tear drop sinkers to give it a go.
Nice kitty
I usually start after I have gotten tired of chasing bluegills and redears.Quote:
