Huge Crappie

Very impressive crappie. I had one to show also but I......ummm.....seemed to have misplaced it. :) What a hog! Thanks for sharing.

With it being in a freezer that long and considering most all of the moisture has been removed from the fish and it still weighs 4 lbs, it is not a stretch at all to say that it weighed well over 5 lbs when it was alive.

Incredible fish!! :eek:

sticking with 4 08 or4 09 Still a monster

I cant say for sure what the real live weight was. All i know is what i was told..The taxidermist said that the man that caught it does not care about recognition for it.He also said the same man caught one last year that weighed 4 10...

I can't see the pic!! I see red x's

I saw the crappie shortly after it was taken in and on the same scales it weighed 4lbs 8ozs when we weighed it. I was told it weighed 4lbs 9ozs when it was first weighed at the taxidermists shop and this was after 3 hours in an ice chest. The same angler had caught nearly an identical crappie previously but ate it!:eek:

The biggest crapie that I have caught so far has been a couple of 2 1/2 lbers. It is truly amazing to see just how big these things can get!:)

Slabbandit. If this is the same fish were talking about,What is the first letter of the taxidermist name,where it is at.

Would love to see it when it's done, too!

Hi Shot,
Not trying to step on your toes..."D" is a good friend of mine and we weighed it just a few days after he took it in. By the way, those are some awesome pics that you took.
I hope to get some pics of it finished before it leaves the shop. I know that he'll do an awesome mount!:)
