I heard a guy say he caught a 4 lb 2 oz Dardanelle Crappie but looked more like 2 to 2.5 lbs in the photo.
Another guy telling his buddy caught as 5 lb 10 oz on Conway. Till I see proof , I'm really skeptical.:popcorn

Yea gonna need some proof on this.
I got a picture emailed to me yesterday of one caught the Arkansas River that was supposed to weigh almost 5 looked about 3 to me.
lol sounds like my buddy he allways adds 4 or 5 pounds to every fish he catchs :fish
The key word rumors!!!!!
Most people don't realize how big a 2# crappie is much less a 5# er.
I believe it. A bass fisherman caught 2 2.5lb crappie on the same day out of Poinsett. He showed me one of them and it was about 14.5 inches long and Poinsett size thick. Another fellow over there said he catches several 3 lbers each year over there. If that is happening, I'm positive that Dardenelle and Conway are producing crappie upwards of 6 or more lbs.
I believe it too. I caught a 6.5 lb Crappie on Brewer yesterday. I was gonna have it mounted but my kids were starving. Oh and my phone was dead, so no pics. You guys believe me.........right?
I noticed that the smallest crappie weighed in at spring camp was 3 lb 4 oz!!
Some people can't guess weight at all. I saw a guy i knew from work at hogue last year. We were both running noodles for catfish at night. He asked how big of fish we caught. We had one about 5lbs. He said they caught one that was 13lbs. The fish i had was bigger. So i guess i really had a 15lber.:dono
I can guess weight really well. I have a technique for it...I take the fish and attach a hook under his gills. The hook is attached to a chain that connects to a scale. I look at a digital screen that will read out the weight and then I guess my scale is of .50 lbs so I add .75 to the digital readout. I have never been proved wrong!
I also think that a lot people need to check their scales. I'm not convinced that these cheap fish scales weigh very accurately.
Oh, come one now, accurate scales takes all the fun out of bragging!
I checked my digital scales with 1/2 ounce weights and it was right on according to the weights. I have been pretty disappointed a few times about the actual weight of a fish. I will usually guess him bigger in a picture or just coming out of the water.
Well now, as we all know, fishermen are notorious liars, I never told a lie myself, but I did catch one on Dardanelle recently that was a HOSS, when I lifted him out of the water the lake dropped enough that it left my boat stranded on the cover I pulled him from, I'd have taken a pic, but had to put him back to get my boat freed...He was....a good'n
What's Facebook?
If the fish the agfc says is the new state record weighed 5 pounds then that 14 incher might have been 3. Makes a joke out of agfc. Well, it doesn't make a joke out of them but it is further evidence.
5-10 would eclipse the Water Valley fish?
I've seen a 4+ pound crappie, my father in law caught it. It was a little over 21" long. The fish in the above picture is only 18"... :scratchhead
Heard of a 5lber yesterday, that broke someone'a line.... Now they weigh them before they even get them in the boat.
I had a 5lb crappie on the other day, but just before I got it to the boat, the sneaky thing unhooked himself and hooked on a catfish.
Gonna have to put on my chest wadders if the thread goes much longer , the bs is getting deeper and deeper!!! Lol!!
Better get a reading comprehension test immediately. Nowhere have I bashed anyone. (Except in retaliation to geagle and he surely understands that.) But I'll put you down for agreeing that an 18 inch crappie with a girth of 13 inches will weigh 5 pounds. As far as D10 and the greer's fish, I asked a simple question that it turns out several folks did not know the answer to but got informed by the responses. I neither like or dislike the agfc but would like to know how the rules are interpreted before I get checked.
Definitely a good fish, but I'd guess 18" puts him a little over 3... closer to 4 in my boat.
15" & 2 1/2 lb I caught 2 wks ago on little lake in se moAttachment 124175
Pulled this one today on Tenkiller. The other one in this pic is 13". No scale on me. No idea what it weighed but I would guess around the 2lb range. But it was bigger than my fishing buddy JoJo. She's a Min Pin and weighs 7 lbs. So I'm thinking of fudging the weight!
