Thread: Harris Brake Lake Slab

I have not fished it much but ones I've caught there are good fish. I only hope to catch one that big one day.

Man I cant wait to catch a slab like that!

D10, it is a black,,female. That fish is a game changer! Wow! Thanks for sharing!

That is the fish of a lifetime. I wonder how old that fish is?

Just a big ole fish, no long arm needed. Awesome.

I think that I could.count 7 or 8 dorsal spines, which is a black crappie and it more than likely is a female at that weight. It could have been a male though.

I tried to get a Mr. Baxter's contact info for a couple of weeks so that I could ask him if I could remove the otoliths for ageing. I could never get his number. If anyone catches a 3 pound + crappie and you are somewhere fairly close to central Arkansas, I would really like to get the otoliths out of your crappie for ageing (really good and rare data). Especially if the fish was caught in one of lakes in my district, D-10 (Cleburne, VanBurren, Conway, Faulkner, White, or Perry counties). I can even remove one after it is frozen, when the taxidermists starts to work with the fish.

And here I am still trying to get a 3 lb'er
