Welcome and what a great first post. That's a prize Crappie for sure. What type Striper bait did he hit.......a buck tail? Nice catch of the Stripes and Whipes also.
That is a nice crappie, you dont catch them like that every day! That fish should be over 3 lbs, if its 18 inches long. A wall hanger for sure! Some people fish there whole like for a fish that big, and some never catch one that big.
Welcome from Liberty
nice fish for sure!
I caught it on a a-rig with swim shads 3.5 inches. Did not fill right to consider it a real crappie catch.When I fish for crappie I normally jig with light line. The trolling gear was a little bit overkill but he still put up a great fight on striper gear.
That is a Mega Crappie. Welcome from Stokesdale.

Nice one
Great crappie. Never had crappie hit my a-rigs, but the white perch sure will jump on them.
White perch do jump all over them. I use Chamberlain release's that you dial in for light hits on the downrigger and not drag them around all day
Those white perch have got to be the most aggressive fish in the lake. I have had them hit deep diving plugs bigger than they are. lol.
