Crappie fishing in Texas been good about a week ago but mostly small to average size ,water temp around 51 degrees but today I caught 1 more than 16" long, that is longer than the 5 gallon bucket .Never catch any crappie that big in Illinois but here in Texas they grow fast .Every year I caught several big fish like this ,sometime several big one in one day
Wow, that's a monster crappie! :d
Yeah. Impressive for a crappie.

Very nice catch! Waiting for the crappie here in Califotnia to start chewing.
Wow! Great fish. :d
that "crappie" fishing is way better than any of my fishing trips of the last year (none)
Wow! Thanks for sharing, Quang.
Best, Fred
I catch them with my favorite DQ 1001 reel and my hand made jig ,try to take pics last night but too dark ,can't get good pics.
A 16" crappie is a great catch in anybody's book! 👍
15" is 2# black crappie that's a bigun! Nice jig you should go into bidness :al
Wow that's a nice crappie! I guess everything is bigger in TX.

You mean selling these jig ? No only make some jig for fun and try different material to find the one work best ,never make enough money by tying jigs .I sell 1 time on ebay 5 bulktail jigs for $20 ,that fairly good price but then I have to spent $5.00 for shipping ,spent at least 1 hour to tie them then minus money to buy hooks and lead ,making about $5/hour
That, is a nice fish!

That is a HOG Crappie.
Maybe even wall worthy!?
I've never even seen one that big.
Good job,
Steve
