PB White Crappie

This past Fall while throwing a black w/t blue flake plastic crawdad for Lmb at a private community lake on a chilly day with chocolate milk like water I was just about ready to take my skunk and call it a day, but I saw a nice laydown on my way back to the truck, so I threw my bass rig and slow rolled it back, and wham-o I got a nice strike, although for some reason it didn't fight like a bass, I quickly brought the beast to the bank, as I plucked it from the water, I said to myself, wow he doesn't have the horizontal stripe of a Large mouth, then I said huh he doesn't even have black eyes, then it hit me I had caught a huge white crappie! not having a tape or scale with me, I held the slab to my pole and made a mud mark on the handle for reference, when I arrived back to my truck I measured the handle of my pole to the mud mark, and low and behold the crappie measured a good 20" beating my Personal best by 4", now you southern guys might not be that impressed, but being a buckeye (Ohio) fisherman this fish was unreal, and proved to me that under the right situations lake/forage low fishing pressure a crappie can live long enough the reach this size.
