22 Inch Crappie

A Virginia angler caught a 22 inch crappie in a mid size lake in South Eastern Va. It was measured by a park ranger but most likely never weighted on a certified scale and witnessed by a proper person. The ranger knew it was a big one but did not understand that it could be a world record. I travel to Va and do fairly well with crappie but wow! I got the information from Va outdoor post and started e-mailing others from that area for information. Twelve to 15 inch crappie are biggies in my book. I think I may have a new crappie hole to try this spring!

Awesome, 4/5# for sure. Hope you get his brother or sister.

Thats a great fish. Hope you can find some pictures of it. I'd love to see one 22". My PB is 17 1/4" 3.2lbs from Ky lake

I saw the report on Va Outdoors then PM some of the guys from that area I chatted with before. They did not know anything about it. They started posting in the Va section. You can go to the Va section for updated info.
