nice fish! I have lived next to mogadore my whole life and usually fished the pads off of palm rd. Have not done it in years.

Nice crappie! :B

And I've been thinking about hunting....VERY NICE SLAB Congrats

 

nice fish. is dave grohl your twin?

 

great fish way to go i love that lake

 

Very nice. Haven't seen one that big on here in quite a while.

 

Thanks alot everyone for all the good cheer!! I did clean her and put her in the freezer. Think I might have a nice crappie supper for dinner tomorrow once I climb out of the tree stand. So does any one out there no of a good taxidermist who makes reproductions?? This is the biggest crappie I've caught and was thinking about getting one done. Good luck to eveyone thats hitting the woods tomorrow!!!

 

There's a guy in Green that does... I'll get a name from Prez... He knows who it is...

 

That thing looks half bass half crappie.Nice fish.

 

Magadore has some big slabs, no doubt about it. I've caught some nice 12 and 13 inchers, but that thing is BOSS

 

NICE going. Congrats!

 

HOLY Crappie! Monster fish for sure!

 

nice fish for sure

 

Beautiful slab!

 

Very nice fish. Do the mount if you can. I've got a couple 7# bass on the wall. I re-live the times often. Find a GOOD taxidermist and the mount can last a lifetime.

 

Thats a whopper loomis! There are some monster crappie in mogadore thats for sure!
There was a stretch , im gonna say from 2000 to 2003 from about 2nd week in october until mid november that you could anchor just east of the causway (and you had to get there early and achor to hold your spot) and just lay into slabs all night. Now im not sure if we caught any as big as that one,we could have...all i know is we would laugh at the size of some them. couldnt believe it. I remember one night a guy was fishing off of the pilings on the **** wall allthough your not allowed due to the danger factor which i dont agree with. Joerugz and I were trying our luck and that fella was catching them along with us and had set his pole down for a second and got it jerked into the water by what i suspect was a big slab as that is all we were catching that night.joerugz has a picture in his album of a few we caught there one evening.it was a mixed bag.there were a couple perch we caught there that were flirting with fish ohio measurements as well.for some reason we havnt been catching them as big the last few years. maybe yours is a good sign.
heres nice tip. I built a 8 x 4 x various vertical lengths artificial reef and had it set out from the causeway. I'm gonna say about 30 yards dead east of the east side of the causeway and in about twelve feet of water.hopefully its gonna be a good crappie season.

 

If your in search of huge crappie try giving Lake Rockwell off RT14 a try in the next 2-3 weeks.The fall run should be in high gear shortly.I've caught my share of 20" crappie and have seen some monster 22"ers caught there.A customer of mine always brings up the 22 1/2"er he caught there back in the middle 90's.This isn't a well kept secret by any means.They're caught all summer long under the RT14 bridge, but not in serious numbers.If you have the time, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.....Mark

PS.........Nice fish Loomis

 

yeah just make sure not to wander off the bridge in either direction on the shore or you will get arrested...and isn't the entire area around that bridge completely weedy right now? last time i drove over it sure was.
