Look at this beast caught in East Toho by Tim Bronson. 4.5# on 8lb Trilene. 23 inches in length with a 15" girth. He's keeping it alive till FWC verifies it for a state record and then he's releasing it.

Great fish and hats off for releasing it!
Wow! Congratulations! Now that's Monster size crappie.
Great crappie. Thanks for releasing it.
I've been shown that same picture 2 different times the last couple of days and it was caught in different states each time. Got to love the net.
Congrats to the lucky angler.
:scratchhead That's what I was thinkingQuote:

One of his buddies told me laying on it's side it was over 8 in from belly to top of back so roughly 17-18 in girth. Laid out next to some other fish it's unbelievable how big that thing is
Unless it was photo shopped, this picture was taken at Everhart's Bait and Tackle in Clinton, MO

Amazing! Who said you can't believe what you see on the internet!!!
If its on the net, its true.....
That looks just like the one I let go up here. Never know how far they will swim.
Let me get back into this discussion. I in no way was trying to argue or diss the OP over this pic.One of the folks who showed me the pic on their phone had a note that the fish came from MO. The other fellow said it was from Mississippi.
I see the same thing happen with all kinds of wildlife taken and posted on the net. There was a massive 200+ non-typical buck taken near my home a couple of years ago and was in my shop to be mounted. Pics of that deer and claims of it being killed in a dozen different states were all over the net. Call me a skeptic but I wasn't trying to be a wize-*** about it.
I heard the guy was from Missouri but caught the fish in Florida
Cray and I enjoyed these guys company for a while at our cabin...it is just like Cray said...Fish was caught in a pond in MO, by a guy from Mo. And it was one heck of a fish ...
I see stuff posted at different states in different years .:crazy:
atta boy Nice crop..whereever caught
Here is the article I saw New Florida State Record Crappie is a 4.5-Pound Monster - Wide Open Spaces
Sumthin aint right here??? I got the same pic of him infront of Everharts in Clinton MO a few days ago. And was caught in central Mo near/around Concordia. Same guy, same fish and looks to be the same building? I dunno???
Saw the same pix last year. It's fake.
Yep. This was posted in the last hour on the Facebook page where the story originated:Quote:

So if you didn't listen to the show yesterday well, someone gave BooDreaux a fake story about a STATE RECORD Crappie caught on Lake Toho that was being kept alive and released....

Somebody obviously caught a really big crappie. The only thing in question was where it was caught.
What was fake was the phone call saying it was a new Florida record.
:yikesSweet
I too fell for the stunt that it was caught in Florida at East Toho, Kissimmee...........
Without totally checking it out - forwarded to several people saying it was a Florida Spec.
Bummer..........
Anybody else confused? This like a big buck tale floating around from camp to camp.
Ok guys, sorry about the fake story and not doing due diligence in checking it out. This one looks like the real deal. Mid America Live: 4.08lbs crappie caught out of Missouri farm pond Here is another story with the same guy in it at the same location. The Concordian: Local News: Entries double for annual cook-off (04/09/14) Another point is that the 2 pics posted are not the same fish. Upon close inspection the patterns are pretty different and the fish looks differently sized. Whoever Michael Roepe is, this dude is a catcher.

Grizz, the night Knightshadow and I were talking to the young man in the picture and his buddies he is fishing a private lake in Missouri. It has from what they told us produced several really large Crappie in that range for him and his father and uncles. It supposedly reproduces minnows that grow to the size of those large minnows like used in Florida for live bait bass fishing. And it grows them in abundance.
I’m glad someone fax check thatQuote:

I wondered if it ever got cold enough to wear a hoodie in Florida when I saw the image myself and why it took so long to show up here if he was wearing a hoodie in Florida :RoflQuote:

Nobody can see this thread was started in 2016 Geez? If I were a moderator I'd lock it. By the way I don't want that job! :cheers2
revival of the fittest is this thread :Rofl
Nobody ever looks at dates. I could bump a thread titled “President Kennedy Shot Today in Dallas”, and somebody would reply to it like it just happened. :bangheadQuote:
