what kind of fish is this?

I;m guessing its a rock bass. Anyone confirm?

black crappie

Get rid of that swivel and other thing attached to the hook. Line to hook, thats it.

Hey, he managed to catch a crappie on that rig

it's just a hook on a swivel and clip. I use them for ease of switching baits, since I have only one rod. This particular hook had baby shad (the preserved kind from walmart), and I hung it over a tube running under the road. Watched the fish hook itself.
