It was slow yesterday, only caught one ten incher in three hours. I tried one spot before I left and hooked into a giant black crappie that got hung in a brush pile and the hook pulled out. A couple casts later I hooked this big girl which measured 16.25". Second biggest crappie I ever released. Was using a 2" Keitech swim bait.Attachment 398023Attachment 398024
Wow, JJJ! That girl is a monster. Fat and healthy! Very nice catch, and darn near a PB. Congrats.

That's a Slab, good catch. Use a Gekabijin hook on that jighead?
I used an Orient Sun jig hook. I was using an AJING SaqSas hand tie when I lost the big black crappie so I set that rod down and grabbed the swimbait rod. Glad I switched. Been having problems keeping crappie hooked with the AJING's. Bet I lost a dozen crappie in two days and losing that black crappie was the last straw. No problems losing fish with the regular SaqSas. I release all crappie 14" or over hoping to catch them again when they are even bigger.

Nice catch !
I get some interesting looks releasing big crappie. Can’t eat but just so many tacos.
An excellent fish Jim! Makes you kinda proud to watch them swim off. Good Job!!
thats a dandy by golly
KABOOM
Releasing that size fish is how you do it, why kill such a great specimen when someone else could get a thrill in ketchn it again?
These are what I'm talking about with the AJING jigs. They work great for other species but not crappie for me. I love the red head and fish like it too, but I think it's the hook even though they are really sharp. Maybe I'll try closing the hook gap more. Hook is certainly different from the other SaqSas hooks.
OK.....I know the ones you are talking about now. I have about 10 packs of them. I used them one trip out and never used them again...same results as you. It is the SS OG.Quote:

Finally glad to see you are also after crappie. I live close (I think) and have often wondered if I should try and meet. I build crappie (Panfish) rods as a hobby and hope to find something biting soon close by. Hints on where to go would help!
That's a monster for sure!

Nubster, you would be in good company. Met Jim by chance several years ago and followed his posts ever since.
