Went to Sportsmans Warehouse in Southaven this PM, a guy named John (last name?)that works in the fish dep. told me that Fisheries "shocked up" several crappie weighing 6 lbs in Grenada:yikesWhen? Source? Said he had heard it from several people. Have any of you guys that live down that way and fish Grenada alot ever heard of this, or is this a "chute house" rumor?:dono
I for one don't believe it.
There were 2 of em but Wannabe caught 1. By accident of course.
And he ate it. [emoji15]Quote:

What size minnow would you use for a six lb crappie?
A 25 and up. That's at least 6 inches.:biggrinQuote:

I heard Brian Williams caught a 6lber.
Lmao
Reaper....you ain't right!! lmao.
Actually, Brian was in a bar with Shepard Smith prior to an Ole Miss game and overheard someone who know's someone talking about it. It's just that Brian's life is such a fast paced blur that the details got mixed up. He thought the real story was about how folks in MS still fish with the modern equivalent of a crank telephone.
I don't doubt that a 6lb crappie could be hanging out somewhere in Grenada, but I think the Chinese telephone gets going on these rumors. A park ranger once told me that they had shocked up a few fish in past that would have broken the record. The white crappie record is 5lb 3oz. What's a few ounces of exaggeration between friends.:)
Also, Brian Williams saw the body of 6.5lb crappie float past his hotel in New Orleans.
Ok guys here's the truth I have caught a 6lb crappie I did not take a picture of it cause I didn't think at the time it was a big deal mater a fact I have caught several and have ate everyone of them and that's the truth oh yea I caught all of them at tunic cutoff so y'all should start heading that way.
Here you go. A 16 point deer in Illinios is behind every tree. Just go. Then 10years later a fork horn is all that is left. I feel sorry for you guys in a few years.
I still have my grandads ole telephoneQuote:

Yup Feild and Stream ran a article years ago about trophy buck wonderland Jim Edgar Panter Creek State Park aka Site M Now you can't hunt private ground as outfitters from all over the country have offered huge dollars to lock it up. Can't afford to buy any either like buying gold mine ground with drill holes and a map . It's getting better though a lot of the shady outfitters have worn out their welcome
