Went out Friday night flipping jigs into some heavy cover in a local river for bass and ended up catching crappie and pike on my bass tackle. I did get my 5bass limit but I also got 2 big crappie and 6pike. I didn't get pics of my pike I do canoe side releases with the slimy buggers. The crapie were probably pushing 17" they were huge in the one pic I'm wearing size 10.5 shoes and its almost twice the size when right next to my foot for compairison. The crappie came on rage craws and a 5/0 flipping hook the few bass and pike all were on a football jig and the biggest bass was on a havoc devil spear.

I got more pics but the wifes on my case to go to bed ill post more in the morning no giant bass like the other night but still a good day

nice man looks like you had a nice day!

It was ok usually I catch tons of big bass in this spot all large mouth I didn't know there were smallies it was a nice surprise. But I was catching pike and crappie the pike were all in the 24-30" range one was pretty good sized close to 36" actually I thought it was a big bass at first, crawling a jig with a rage trailer felt the line go slack from him picking it up slamed the hook home felt big just to get it to the canoe and see a lazy pike not fighting.

lol well that's too bad but it's good to know there are smallies there and you caught all diff species which is cool too. Sounds like you got a good feel for the jig too man, I'm just learning how to fish jigs so I'll take what you said about feeling the line go slack as a tip - thanks!

Yup I notice that the most it seams ill be draging and ill just loose all feeling so I reel in slack quick and usually feel it either swimming at me or away and swing for the stars

nice man - thanks for the tip! BTW I caught my PB LMB of the season on a jig today! lol it must have known we were talking about jigs and got hungry haha - check out my log if you wanna see the fish! Good luck out there and tight lines!!
