Happy Happy Happy! I finally caught a 3lb crappie! I caught a little over fifty today and kept 25 for a fish fry and think I will get this one mounted....He weighed on my digital scale 3lb 1oz and was 17inches long.

Congrats, that's one nice slab. Don't blame you for getting that one mounted, I would do. Again, congrats.
I'd want it mounted too, but as a replica. Take pics, measurements, then release so she can spawn!
I am glad you posted the length, well in a way I am and in a way I am not. When I was younger i caught several big black crappie like that between 18 and 19 inches. I never weighed any and have always wished now that I had. I have not caught any like that in years, the place has fiilled in now and those slabs no longer come in there. I also do not fish as often as I did then either. Great catch man, that's a good fish. Hope you catch many more.

Great Fish ! I know you said a BIG AMEN when you got him in the boat
Very nice fish Preach
Congrats, What a nice one!, Still looking for my 3 +
very nice congrats and fishing guntersville more than anywhere else I have caught 3 in the 3lb range and filleted em but wont again I plan to release anything 3lb or bigger crappie anymore
very nice....congrats
I caught him on Neely Henry and almost released him but the more I thought about it I just had to mount it! I know that is not popular with alot of folks but I do my fair share of releasing good fish...anybody that fishes with me will tell you that... I have caught bunches of crappie over two pounds and have had several in one day over two pounds but just never could hit that 3lb pound mark...Not ashamed of my decision to mount him.
Very nice fish!!
Congrats on an awesome slab and a great catch for your fish fry. It'll look great on your wall!
I stand corrected! That is for sure a beautiful fish for Neely! The biggest I pulled from Neely was 2.98 lbs and my cutoff for a mount was 3 lb. It was released. If I get that one over 3, it is going on the wall as yours is. I am not into replica's, just not the same to me. I release enough big fish every year to justify taking the one 3 lb'er out.Quote:
