Back in the 80's and early 90's, I got a lot of 2.5s out of Hefner, all in the winter, slip-corking with Carl J. The biggest one was 2.7. Did get a 17 incher from Ft. Cobb in the spring two years ago, but didn't weigh it. The biggest I have seen caught was by my son, Montana Boy. He got it from a watershed pond near Ninnekah in 1989 or 1990. He was fishing for bass out of a float tube, using a Deep Down Rattlin' Fat Rap in fire tiger. What at first looked like a light-colored bass turned out to be a 3.5# crappie, the only crappie we ever got out of the watershed.
The kaw one stop where the tourney check in is held, has a monthly crappie contest during the spring and early summer. It takes a 3. something to win it.
My son caught a 3.1 several years ago and was entered into the contest. He didn't even place in the top 3.
For the record, I have not caught one over 3.
Largest crappie I have ever caught was a 2-3/4 pounder off Fountainhead dock in 1990. I wasn't going to weigh it, but the other fishermen there convinced me it was worth weighing. Glad I did, it was a dandy. Got a big one to the surface of the water a few years back and its eyes were 3 inches apart.......fought like an alligator and it busted my rod plum smooth in half, sounded like a gun shot when the rod broke. I cried like a baby..........lol

I live on grenada lake in sippi, caught a sack full of 3# fish, my best are a 4.1 and 4.3 out of the same top 3 days apart.... ate them both
We are all envious here in Oklahoma, MrGoodtime. But....., we forgot to mention that if you live in crappie heaven, you can't post unless it's a 5 pounder. Smiley face. One of my buddies has fished both Grenada and Darbonne, and he says it is absolutely spectacular fishing.Quote:
