2023 crappie thread!!!

[Texas Grown]

Great fish gents!




And Marty, that mount is better than any bass I've ever seen!

[gorski.chad]

Bill Muntz donates a free mount to whoever wins big fish of the year at the Crappie Anglers of Texas tournaments. My partner Drew Black and I caught this big white crappie on Pines last year and she hung on as big fish for all of 2022.
I asked him to do a replica Black to go along with the white. To say I am tickled with them is a huge understatement. His art work is stunning. I have been told taxidermy is supposed to be viewed from 10 foot away. These fish look great holding them in your hand.

That’s a beautiful Crappie

I have been on the struggle bus for crappie for longer than I care to admit. Finally broke down and bought an Active Target for my display and made a homemade transducer bracket out of an old flag pole and mount with a little PVC and some imagination. It works great. Three trips in a row in some backwaters and we ended with several bags of filets. Just about every crappie were full of eggs and bellies stuffed with giant shad. Big white bass have showed up and we put a hurting on those too.

Good stuff! Rescheduled today and tomorrow because of the wind and weather. Fish 3 days in a row, work a day or 2 and then fish 4 days in a row!

Anybody using live scope to catch flatheads? I've heard of people doing it and am curious about the details.

Can't say on the flat heads but Sandlin has a bunch of big blue cats and I see them often. I have no doubt that you could put a shad in their face with your love scope
