Black Crappie records by State

Disclaimer: Yup I have a new job position / yup I sit alot at a desk now / yup I get bored thus the recent influx of posts :) With that being said here is some more stuff I found interesting.

No new records noted after the 2007 catch, and only ten states have new records after 2000.

The Maine record is way outdated. It sets at close to 4lbs. That is if the state ever gets up to date. I released a 17 in. 3lb 9oz. a couple days ago.

South Carolina held the world record for a long time. Hard to beat a 5 lb fish. Incidentally, our White Crappie record is 5lb 1 oz. only 2 ounces short of a world record also.It was caught in 1949.

IGFA records 5lb 0oz from Missouri as #1 Black Crappie. Something is wrong with that list.

The record Black in Louisiana is only 3.84 lbs and was caught in Poverty Point on April of 2010. That comes from the official records. I just looked it up. White is 3.80 also caught in 2010 in may on Lake Verret. PP is near the north border and Lake Verret is 50 miles south of Baton Rouge.

You can come when you feel the need. Won't be long and the lakes will get hard. May is a good time
