what have you caught on a crappie jig?

It's good to be back,

Yo' Slabking, You know I hit that Blueberry Lake last summer,
and I couldn't get a hit to save my life. I threw everything at 'em.
But I guess thats why it's called fishing.
Today I ran down to the Green River to chase some Steelies, but no luck.
I saw some guys throwin' flies and just catching a few whitefish.
So I rigged up, and class began. These fellas got all pissed off at me,
I was slayin' 'em, and they couldn't figure out what I was doin'. Finally I showed 'em a 1/32nd oz maribou crappie jig with the tinyest of willow blades, and that was the trick. I must have c 'n r'd at least 20 of those whitefish.
So, to my question: What is the weirdest thing anybody has caught on a crappie jig?

Personally, Today and those whitefish was it for me.

Later on Fellas'

Ken:
I use a 1/64th oz Grizzly jig with 6/20 Spider line tipped with a wax worm. I've caught
Largemouth
Bluegill
Redear
Carp
Gar
Grinnel
Crappie (once in a while)
Wiper
Sauger
and a hell of cypress roots

Brane ded

mmmmmmmmmmm cypress root (gurggle noise).

I think one of the strangest fish I've caught was 16lb carp on 4lb test line. At that time I thought it was a bit strange until a few years later when I meet a guy at Potholes that likes to fish for carp. He told me that the best lure he'd found for them was a black crappie jig lol :p.

I've also caught largemouth, smallmouth, chum salmon, lake trout, channel cats, bluegills, perch, sea perch, rock cods, squawfish, and walleye (my favorite lure for them second only to a 176 Yamamoto grub).

Blueberry is a tuff nut to crack but there are a ton of crappie and some huge bass in there. It's a typical pond so it gets choked with weeds by the end of May. The best fishing there is during the last two weeks of April through the first two weeks of May, then again in the fall around the end of Sept. The best spot for crappies on the whole lake is right off the dock on the edged of the pad fields.
