to go on your wall? I have always said 4 lbs but pretty sure that's never gonna happen.
3lbs for me.
Over 5lbs 3oz.
It's got to weigh enough for you to be proud of it. The circumstances around catching it may have something to do with it as well.
I like Scotts answer.....I think Mr.Jim has been in the wine lol
Think I'll mount my first one when I catch it.
Would love to mount one but it will prolly have to be in the 3.5 range, 3 pounders just eat too dern good.:biggrinFish in my avatar weighed 3 and went rite in the livewell just like the rest of em.
Yep. What weight do they start tasting like sardines? That is the weight that goes on the wall!
IF IT IS 3 LBS IT COST ABOUT A 100 DOLLARS A POUND TO MOUNT SO IF IT IS BIGGER IT WOULD BE LESS A POUND RIGHT ? I GOT ONE IN THE FREEZER OUT OF BARNETT 2.86 POUNDS , ONE SHAD UNDER THREE SO WHAT DO YOU DO ? I THINK IT IS GOING IN MY NEXT COOLER FOR ICE THIS TIME AND WISH FOR BIGGER . :fish
Don't think the guy at Grenada is charging that much and does dang good work.Quote:

Don't real have an exact weight.I will say this back in the day before big crappie was so popular a 3lb fish was no big deal but 3lbers are becoming more illusive.So i guess i will make the call to mount or not when the time comes.
No G I haven't been in the wine don't drink it.My reasoning for 5.3 is if it cost that much to get mounted catch a new record and ill bet you could get it mounted for free.PFTTTT
Good thinking Mr.JimQuote:

My plan is to mount the next 3.0. Then each one larger than the last.
well i would hope so . But i think i am gonna wait on that one more shad . Caught one years ago much bigger , but then all i was interested in then was dinner for three children .Quote:

caught one from a pond I think would have been 4.But I was feeding 4 griowing boys.Quote:

Liar liar pants on fire, you catch another 3.77 you know you gonna put it rite beside the other one .Quote:

I hope I have to make that decision, lol
3 pd crappie is like a really nice 8 pt buck.
Anything over is just even more bragging rights.
3.25 don't come easy these days.
I have several from 3.03 to 3.51 mounted. If I caught a 3.25 out of Barnett I would mount it... Just because my biggest on that lake is a 3.09.... So it all depends where they come from for me
But I throw the 3 pounders back if I ain't gonna mount them in hopes either I might possible catch one on a tournament day or it'll make someone else's day. I rather eat the 1 - 1.25lb fish
Like Mr Jim said, gona have to be 5.3 or bigger for me, already put a 4.1 and a 4.3 under the knife.
When and where?? Need details.... Thats like killing 2 200 inch deer.Quote:

I have 4 lber mounted............came out of Grenada Spillway.
4lb. my best is a 3lb.15 oz. have caught three over 3lbs. in my life . think money is safe ! lol .
I would rather spend a few hundred dollars catching more fish, than remembering one fish I caught in the past. Think of how many minners (bandits, jigs, poles, gallons of gas, fishing line) you could buy with the money spent on one crappie. I mounted a pair of big deer when I was younger. They both hang on the wall of my wife's biology classroom now. They get old, and after a few years they just get in the way. Save your money and go fishing!!!
I enjoy walking into my house every afternoon and seeing my duck and fish mounts. I believe it is money well spent on something so memorableQuote:

I basically dont duck hunt anymore but just seeing the mounts I have from past years each day brings back great memories and the older we get memories are often times all we have left.Quote:
