You guys ever catch Crappie’s this big down there?

[Linked Image]

I know a lot of Crappie’s get caught down in the States, but I usually see a lot of small ones in the pics.

These ones were 13 3/4” and 15 1/2”!

My dad and I caught a 18 1/2 inch crappie, we got the award for it when we sent in a picture and measurements to the state of Ohio.

Biggest I ever caught was a couple 12 inchers, ice fishing. Saw a guy come into the gun / bait store with a 16 incher last winter.


Nice slabs ya got there, how come ya made the kid hold the smaller one? cry

Almost too pretty to eat.

I caught one in a pond a couple of years ago that was all of 14". I let it go to reproduce.

There was no way he was going to hold any other fish for that pic. He was (is) proud of that fish!

I know! I think they’re the nicest looking fish! The next time we go out we are going to keep a couple to get mounted.

The crappies in the pic are all between 11 and 14 inches. Perch up to 14 as well. JP, those are some nice crappie you have there. My favorite fish.

[Linked Image]

Or this guy at 15"

[Linked Image]

These were smaller around 12 to 12.5 I think

Nice fish JP!

We got no keeper size fish here of any kind. Barely any wildlife at all really.

JP if you ever visit the southern tier of the lower 48, you may want to try and fish the lakes in Northwest Mississippi. I've heard they produce some nice fish.
