A guess......1lb.+. 1lb 4oz. maybe.
How long was it?
At any rate, it's a nice fish, and your nephew looks happy! That's what counts.
I would post pics of some we caught this week, with weights, but I don't want to hijack your thread.
It was around 11 inches it wouldn't fit in my crappie measuring deviceQuote:

Fatboy, Congrats!
Great looking cracker, I'd say it's between 16-20 ounces. Looks like it's got some eggs in her too, that adds some weight to the fish.
Shellquacker, come on, I want to see some pics!
Ok, for comparison.Quote:

Nice catches ! looks like my plans to go this week are going to be washed out
Nice catch guys, I fish lake gustersville, Alabama and have yet to figure it out. I catch one once in a while by mistake I guess, I am in serious need of help. any information about location ( what to look for ),depth, baits and best presentaion for shellcrakers would be extremelly appreciated. I mostly tried bream techniques and apparently I am coming up way short. also if using artificial lures what works best??
Thank you
Dang, those are some real hosses...lots of folks would mount those two ears that are 1.8 lbs. Are those size ears commom in Virginia? I live in Southern Indiana, directly across from Kentucky and we have some bigguns but those are hosses.
i guess between 1 and 1-1/2lbs. great fish
Wow, nice fish. Congrats on the catch.
Nice fish. Looks like you need to put some sun block on that boys ears, before you take him fishing! LOL He looks happy! But I bet his mommy was not to happy, about them red ears.
Thats some big Shellcrackers.
Throw those fillets in some hot oil and it will weigh nicely in my stomach. You got some good eating there. I guess you can call that a pounder. That's close enough for govt work.
