Record Crappie?

[jonboatfisher]

Does anyone know the how big the georgia & world record crappie was? Was it a black or white crappie?

The Georgia record is 5lbs even cought by Teresa Kemp somewhere around Macon I think in 1984. The world record is 5lbs 3ozs. Thosse are overall, I think the Georgia and World Record were white crappie not sure.

If my memory serves me correctly, she was fishing under a bridge at Lake Sinclair with a cane pole and minnows. That article was featured in a magazine (I forget which one) the same month my big buck was.

I believe the record in Ga. is a black crappie, seems like thats what I read when I caught my 3.2 lb. 18 inches long white crappie at Lake Blackshear in 2010, best I remember it was just over 5 pounds also.
Ragfly jig man that was a nice fish that you caught the other day.

Yes, Ga. State Record is a 5lb white caught in Burns Brick Yard Pond, Macon Ga., caught on a minnow with a cane pole. :o

Yes Tony I think you are correct. I heard that when they made Interstate 16 they got fill dirt and it made this pond. Heck you can hear all kinda stuff and if Ms. Kemp had weighed this crappie right after she cought it it would have been a world record. Either way iffin I had cought this monster I woulda had a heart attack. LOL

I met the grandson of the lady that caught the fish at BPS a few years ago when Wally Marshall was here in Macon. The fish was caught in a pond beside I-16. The grandson told Wally that his grandad had caught several crappie bigger than the 5 pounder. They ate them. Wally just started laughing and shaking his head! They sold the five pounder mount but he could not remember who bought it.

I think the lady sold the fish to a local bait and tackle shop but not sure. I got in touch with someone in Macon and they are gonna send me the article that was in the Telegraph. Soon as I get this article I will try to post it here.
