My biggest crappie is now 15 inches. Just wondering about my fellow c.com members. I know a lot of you go by weight. Just wondering how about length?

nice fish,mine is 14.5,caught last week.
If you're talkin' length. I caught a 17" on Table Rock you could read a paper through. Didn't even go 2 lbs.
Weight
Caught a 3.17# on Grenada. Had a to cheat and go to Mississippi to get a monster.
I have heard of 18 inc crappie caught through the ice on the Mississippi River, but have never seen one that big. trying to find out how long crappie get and what my fellow c.com anglers see (or catch). I realize crappie can vary in weight depending upon food, season (spawn) and where caught. Length to me indicates age and growing conditions.( not sure). (Quote:

I caught this 16"er this spring on Cave Run Lake in eastern Ky. I caught an 18"er 20 years ago in the same area of the lake.
Some 18 incher's but I was cheating fishing down here in MS on Nader, we have caught several over 16 this summer pulling cranks and "heard" tell of a 19.5 caught on a crank several weeks ago, didn't see it so I cant confirm it but if they thought it was that big then it was a good one.
16.5 twice. One in sippi, one in Bama

15 and 3/4 for me, caught at twain. several over 15, though. once, while fishing twain in october, my brother had one that was bigger than any crappie that I have ever seen. he got it to the side of the boat and it was laying sideways at the surface and he tried to lift it in the boat rather than waiting for a net. that fish was a real tank and Ryan was one mad mambajamba when that jig tore loose! I think 18 inches is a very conservative guess for that fish.
