Nice one for sure. Glad you showed the length with the weight. I work with a bunch of guys that say they catch lots of 3lb crappie but no pictures..... When I ask them how long they were they either don't know or tell me 15 or 16 inches . I have as to yet seen a crappie that was under 17 inches weigh 3 lbs. I have not made it to the3lb club yet , my biggest was 2lb 14 oz .Counting this one I have only seen 7 that were legit 3lbs and all were 17 inches or longer .The biggest I ever saw was 3lbs 5 oz white crappie and it was 17 3/4 inches! My buddy had it mounted for a price ! It might be possible for one in the 16 inch length to weigh that much if its a full of eggs but I haven't seen it.
