Just to clarify, the state record for black crappie isn't 4.15 lbs. It is 4 lbs and 15 oz. The fish in the article is 4.25 lbs or 4 lbs and 4 oz. If it is a white crappie and the state record is 3 lbs and 15 oz. , then it could be a state record for white crappie but it is 11 ounces lighter than the state record for black crappie.
