dave Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Found this picture on the site of a local tackle shop. In MD, this is huge! http://home.comcast.net/~clydessportshop/HUNTnFISH/greenway.jpg Quote
Uncle Leo Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 That is huge, might be a state record in some states. Probabaly close in MD. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 30, 2009 Super User Posted January 30, 2009 That is huge, might be a state record in some states. Not around here. Northern Mississippi, just south of Memphis, produces the biggest crappie in the world. There is a feature article in this month's In-Fisherman magazine about the four lakes. 4+ is not common, but many are caught every year. What I find amazing is that they can grow so big when almost all fish caught are harvested. 8-) Quote

Big difference in length of the growing season. Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 that is a huge speck here in florida. The state record for florida is 3.83lbs. Quote
Jake. Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 That's a great fish. The state record here is 4 lbs. 15 ozs, but my PB is only 1 lb. 8 ozs. Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted January 31, 2009 Super User Posted January 31, 2009 Here's a couple of pics I saved, just so I can go back and drool once and a while. Quote
farmpond1 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Good gosh! I'd love to catch a crappie like any of those pictured! I'm thrilled if I catch a 14 inch crappie! Quote
IDbasser Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Good gosh! I'd love to catch a crappie like any of those pictured! I'm thrilled if I catch a 14 inch crappie! X2 on that! I have not caught too many big ones here. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted February 5, 2009 Super User Posted February 5, 2009 I have never seen crappie that big as the one the woman is holding. Toads in the crappie world for sure. Quote
Calcutta Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I think both those crappie are the biggest Ive ever seen! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 6, 2009 Super User Posted February 6, 2009 This month's In-Fisherman has a great article on "The Arc". 8-) Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted February 7, 2009 Super User Posted February 7, 2009 Man those are some nice fish....my dad has landed quiet a few 2+ in southern TN Quote
B75nweav Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Here's some speck's from central florida.... Orange Lake Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted February 10, 2009 Super User Posted February 10, 2009 b75nweav, now thats' a nice afternoon catch! Quote
JiggaMan512 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I'm not trying to naysay you by ANY means, but are you sure that your first pic isn't a crappie hybrid? Here's a couple of pics I saved, just so I can go back and drool once and a while. Quote
J. M. Richardson Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Man, I wish the crappies in Wisconsin grew that big. Big ones here are about 10-12 inches long. Stinking winter and short growing seasons Quote
bigmountaineer Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I've never heard of a crappie hybrid Quote

Only certain waters can support this kind of...management philosophy, I think, so I don't usually recommend it. Still, I'd be thrilled If I caught even a 1.5 lb crappie. Quote
