Had one caught about 100 yds from me at a Crappie USA tournament on Neely Henry several years back. It was 4.23 lbs. They had fought it for a while and figured it was a striper and was about ready to break it off when they saw it.

I heard that a guy was throwing a net out below the spillway at Grenada a couple of years ago to catch some bait. The gamewardens were there watching people fish when they noticed this guy catch a pretty good fish in his throw net. The wardens went to look and it was a HUGE crappie. They got their scales and weighed it in at a touch over 6 lbs. They of course made the guy release it since it was caught in a net.
Duck, you know that you just cost us another 18 jillion dollars in net purchases to find that fish!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Too bad nobody had a camera or phone to take a picture of that fish at Nada!I think it's a whole lot better to just keep it quiet about the large fish we have at the Big 4. Too much stir brings too many people from other worlds.The more large fish taken from these lakes the less gene pool to keep these large fish coming in the future.Thats what I like about Butla though, It's a tough place to fish.Dirty water, stains your clothes if you swim in it,messes up the hull of a shinny ski boat with that old rusty film, and I don't doubt that it could have brain-eating amebos swimming around in it!!It's just hard not to kinda brag a little when you have a wall hanger in your den!I would!It's like when my grandad caught a 103 lb.blue cat out of the Tallahassee River on a illigal snag line before Sardis was built. It was food on the table and nothing was ever said outside the family about it!They fished with tractor magnetos,telephones, cutdown sticks of dynamite tied to a rock back then.
OLD FISHERMEN NEVER DIE, THEY JUST SMELL THAT WAY!!
There's one on the wall at Parker's store caught by Sandra Parker and one on the wall at Ward's short stop in Vardaman both out of Grenada.The one at Parkers came out of the lake,1 at Wards came out of the spillway.
I bet this one is well over 4 by now

Shoot, I think everyone I lost last year was at least 4 lbs or better.
