Thread: Whats a crappie got to weigh

Bouth caught 4yrs ago on nader in the spring in same week

I figured Nader but in the same week, that was one heck of a week.

High standards for a bunch of Gewbs.

Handi, i'd pay to have a another yr like my ole buddy JW ( RIP friend ) and i had that yr.

I have 4 lber mounted............came out of Grenada Spillway.

4lb. my best is a 3lb.15 oz. have caught three over 3lbs. in my life . think money is safe ! lol .

I would rather spend a few hundred dollars catching more fish, than remembering one fish I caught in the past. Think of how many minners (bandits, jigs, poles, gallons of gas, fishing line) you could buy with the money spent on one crappie. I mounted a pair of big deer when I was younger. They both hang on the wall of my wife's biology classroom now. They get old, and after a few years they just get in the way. Save your money and go fishing!!!

I enjoy walking into my house every afternoon and seeing my duck and fish mounts. I believe it is money well spent on something so memorable

Just this year alone ive driven over 8000 miles, bought 150 bandits, 20 plus poles and spent no telling how much on minners and new jigs. What I havent been able to buy is a 3 pounder but I can promise you when I do that baby is going on the wall. I basically dont duck hunt anymore but just seeing the mounts I have from past years each day brings back great memories and the older we get memories are often times all we have left.

Think the new lake you have been learning may satisfy that itch come Spring if you will let it.
