Funny never wanted to use crappie for flatheads. Bluegill, perch, golden tarpon yes but crappie are in my opinion too valuable and high end a fish. Would be like using live walleye almost. Hard to explain, just never thought about using them even though I've had many opportunities to do so and it's perfectly legal.

A 16.5# crappie is a serious crappie, black or white. Not a state record or like some giants caught in other states but a serious noteworthy fish nonetheless. The one I just posted looked like a frisbee at the side of the boat.
