That looks like a solid 13.5-14" crappie.

I went yesterday for about 4 hours to my favorite creek and did about the same. Biggest was about 12" and half dozen were 10.5"+. However, majority were dinks. That seems like what it's become : 10 or more dinks then 1 real good fish, repeat. Still, I'll wade through the dinks to have a chance at a giant.

dam i hope u didnt put that crappie in that easy checker cuz if u did he dead

Crappie checker was stored in the same compartment as that diaper you found

Did really well yesterday back in the creek. They are stacked up on the heavy brush in deeper water. Most of the fish were caught 6-8' down in 11-15' water.

My dad and I caught about 50 between us. Many dinks but the largest amount of nice ones (11.5+) that we have in a while. Caught a number of them close to 12". My largest was 13" and my dad caught a 14" shown below. A couple of others said they weren't doing good. I think maybe they were just fishing too fast. The water was in the upper 40s and seems to have come up a degree or two but the bite was still pretty slow. Funny thing was that I caught them on everything. We literally tied off right on top of them and fished straight down. After I caught one on a Bobby Garland, I couldn't catch another. Tied on a smaller popeye jig, then a Lake Fork, etc, etc. Once they'd seen it, they didn't want it. The largest was caught on a minnow but most of the big ones came on jigs.

I have stomped fish the past few days..... I've got them deep and shallow.... Yesterday took a friend that I don't get to take very often... We had a ball prolly 75? Or so crappie but lots of those little... Still a blast.. Headed out early this morning just got back home... Taking wife and kid to zoo for lights... Found fish shallow today... Got some 11-12" whites but once again a Ton of small ones... I ain't complaining it's been great. Caught this little black nose today also.

I've caught 1 blacknose out of the creek this year. He was small. Interestingly enough, this summer I went and fished pool #2 on the Kentucky River. Really did not do that well. Caught a lot of smaller bass but only 4 crappie. Of those 4 crappie, 3 were blacknose. The largest around 11". They must be really prevalent on certain bodies of water.

Couple of river dandies... Bigger one 14&3/4". Other one not far behind
