I feel a 2 lb crappie in MO is like a 160" deer. Most people will never be lucky enough to catch one or kill one. I have caught 2 fish over two lbs on Truman and one in a strip pit. Never had the money then to get one mounted. But if I get lucky enough to catch another over 2 lbs it will be hanging on the wall.

It will be on the wall when a 2 pounder comes in the boat. I've been close but it hasn't happened yet!

2 pounds+

I used to think 2lb I would mount. When I got the 2.4+ on Longview, I changed it to 3lb. Now, I don't think I'd mount one at all. The thrill is worth more to me then having to dust the darn thing off every week or 2 on the wall. Nothing wrong with getting a mount done, just not my thing. I might frame a pic though, or use that pic on a fishing website as my avatar.

last year at a lake up here around Marshall my mom caught a 19 in 2 1/2 pounder.. real nice fish

I'd say 2 pounds is trophy here in missouri. Or if you go by inches 15" or bigger is a big fish. Now in other states or well just one thats considered a dandy. But If I catch a 2 pounder out of a lake in MO he's going up on the wall.

I haven't weighed any crappies, we go by inches. I have yet to break 16 inches and that would be my "trophy fish", course I probably wouldn't keep it or get it mounted but I would finally have an avatar pic with a big crappie in it!
once at twain my brother hooked a crappie and brought it to the top before it got away. biggest I have ever seen by a LONG shot, bigger than what bass pro has in their aquariums.... we had a 18 inch drum in the boat that day and that crappie looked to be a quit a bit bigger than the drum. good times!
