HOLY CRAPPIE! Earlier this week, young angler Brady Murr caught this whopper of a black crappie in a private pond, weighing in at 4 lbs 11 oz, just shy of the 5 lb state record black crappie! Brady's father contacted MDC to weigh the fish and determine a positive species ID. Brady and his father later released the fish alive into the private pond from which they caught it.

that's a hoss
Ain't to much bigger than the one Layne caught at the Grenada Big Mama this year.
What a thrill that must have been!
Over half a pound bigger??? That's quite a lot! Both were great fish but I would've had this one on my wall.Quote:

I read it 4.11 when I posted. I see now it's 4lbs 11ozs. That IS a pig, plus it's a speck.Quote:

What a fish!!
Oh no. Does this make Missouri "Home of the 5 Pounder"? All the out of town fisherman will have that pond wiped out in a couple of years unless they put a 12 inch length limit on it. Just kidding. Just kidding. Its only a joke. Trying to keep it light for the Sardis Lake Dooms Day Club.
