    Default Wall Worthy Fish


    What's your bucket list crappie that you would mount ? I've caught some heavy 2+ pound crappie to date but have never broke the 3lb mark. Having said that, a 3+ pound black crappie is one of my bucket list fish, but I still don't think I would mount anything under 4lbs, but a big 3.80 or better would definitely make me think long and hard. Which means I may never mount a crappie, but I will eat a few ! So what size crappie are you mounting ?

    I agree with Crappie Greg anything over 3 is going on the wall. I have gotten close many times just can't break it yet!!

    Anything over 3 for me as well. 3 pounders are wall mounters around here. I caught 4 crappie over 2.5 pounds last winter. I am gunning for that 3 pounder this winter! We shall see what happens...

    I've got a mount of two 3 1/2 pound, and a 3 3/4 pound mounted together on a piece of driftwood from Grenada Lake, Ms. They cost me $550.00 dollars to have them mounted together plus, the shipping. If I catch any more wall hanger crappie they will be released to breed. I can't afford to mount anymore...lol

    3lbs seems to be a standard answer, but I would also consider any fish over 18 inches especially in the summer when crappie don't weigh as much, think about how hard it is to catch a 18 inch plus fish.

    I have been fortunate enough to have been in the right place at the right time and caught three fish that weighed over three pounds. I only have one of the beauties on the wall. Two of the slabs came from Grenada and one from Arkabutla. However, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and have seen some really cool mounts of crappie weighing two or two and a half pounds.
