Record class crappie

I saw this record class length crappie posted on a taxidermy site today and thought you guys would appreciate seeing it. We all read claims of exceptionally long crappies, but IMO almost all are exaggerated. A photo of the fish laying with a flat tape is the proof it requires to make me believe any claims of exceptionally long crappies. The taxidermist who mounted it said the fisherman who caught it said it was close to 4 lbs. At that length 4 lbs is possible.
