A buddy of mine has crappie clips which are like diaper pins and they are numbered from 1 to 15. one guy uses the pins the other justs drops them in.

I took Bernie(remember the movie Weekend at Bernie's) on a glorious crappie fishing trip a couple of winters ago at Lake Wappapello. We idled around a bit in the upper river channel looking for them. Finally went across a submergered tree with hundreds of arches on top of it and around it. Dropped a blue/white tube jig down to where the fish were (down scan is great by the way), and immediately started catching 13 to 15+ inch crappie immediately. Had both of our limits in 45 minutes. I put safety pins in Bernie's fish to keep them separate since we were in my tracker with only one big livewell. After that glorious 45 minutes, I decided to bass fish awhile. About 2 hours later the MAN shows up and pulls alongside and asked how are we doing. I told him about the crappie and he looked in the livewell. Obviously none of the crappie were below the 9 inch length limit, and he looked at several of them as I told him I put Bernie's fish in the livewell with safety pins through their lip. He was truly impressed with the catch and how we kept them marked. Then he asked why Bernie was just slouching in his seat with his shades on and hat pulled down over his eyes. I told him to look in the garbage bag that was on the floor of the boat. When he looked in the bag, he started chuckling when he saw 24 Old Milwaukee Best beer cans in it. I told him that when I started bass fishing, Bernie hit the cooler hard and had passed out. The agent was laughing out loud now, He got back in his boat and took off down the lake, it looked like he was doubled over laughing so hard. When I got home, I filleted the crappie, ate 4 fillets for supper, and put the rest in the big freezer. Then I got "Bernie" out of the boat and placed him in the freezer right next to the bags of fillets. Bernie is a great fishing partner!
