I have caught several in the 2+ pound range and have some pics I have posted here at Crappie.com, but I have not joined the 3 pound club YET. I did witness two of my mom's older brothers come in with a 3+ pound crappie one afternoon at White Oak Lake near Camden, Arkansas. Here's a picture of the picture in Mom's photo album.

That's my Uncle Bill Stratton holding the fish and my Uncle Doc Stratton standing behind. Uncle Doc caught the fish on a minnow and Uncle Bill netted it for him that day. Those two old men were great fishermen and I loved them both. Had some great times with them. They gave me my first beer on a camping adventure one weekend when I was 15. I had become one of the men! I remember how bad that Old Milwaukee tasted, but I relished in the fact that I was considered a "young man" and not a kid anymore by them.

When Uncle Doc was asked if he was gonna have that fish mounted, he replied with an emphatic "He'll no, he's just the right size to make a turd." Both of my uncles are gone now and I can guarantee you that the crappie in White Oak Lake all breathed a sigh of relief at their passing.
