What is the largest crappie you've caught in Indiana?
Mine is 18 1/2" (caught 2) from turtle creek about 1994 or so. Catch a decent amount of 15-16" fish, but it is very rare to catch one bigger for me. Wife did catch one bigger than either of the two I caught over 18" from Kentucky lake. Her fish was a huge black crappie, 19" but it was incredibly thick, on a 1/2 ounce bass jig.
16" 2.5lbs, Lake Monroe, spider rigging. purple/chart. tube jig about 5 yrs ago
My biggest indiana crappie was a 14" fish oit of the salimonie ice fishing a couple of years ago.
19.7 in. 3.7 lb north east in
Please tell me that is mounted on your wall? That is a once in a lifetime fish in Indiana, especially Northern Indiana!Quote:

17.5 from White River 2005. Turtle Creek crappie are long gone locals tell me. Catfish have taken over the lake.
18 1/2" southern Indiana Deam Lake , while bass fishing lol
dont really remember, but i think it was 17.5. it came from a northern indiana reservoir. long long time ago in the late 80s. lol
i have seen 20"+(in NORTHERN INDIANA LOL) but they were from a private lake, which dont count in my book.
mine was a 17 and 3/4 inch 2.7 lbs out of robinson lake near warsaw about 15 years ago.Attachment 233090
skweze thats a nice one! i remember when they opened that lake up. it was killer fishing for about 2-3 years.
Yea but iI used to fish it when it still belonged to the Boy Scouts before it was donated to the state and made into a park we always threw back anything a pound or less and i also caught a 7 lb largemouth there while fishing for crappie I was fishing 3 ft deep with a bobber using beamoth for bait the last time I was there it was fished out so havent been back Lots of good memeories there.
14" Patoka Lake
nice fish good eating too
that would have been a good lake for some special regs. IMO mite have saved it, mite not have.:dono yeah i used to access it from a parking area off a county rd. in the 80s.
if they closed it down for a couple years it would come back but I dont think that is gonna happen
It is mounted on my wall
