99.9% of the crappie that I catch are black crappie. It would take a very thick 13" fish to weigh 1.5 lbs. Most of them weigh in the 1.2-1.3 lbs. In my experience the weight/length charts are on the heavy side. I've caught quite a few 15" or larger black crappie. As I said earlier, only one of them was over 2 lbs. It was a 15 1/2" fish and weighed 2.37 lbs. These are extremely well fed crappie too.
