Monster Crappie

Some years back I met Rick at work.....he is from Pennsylvania and was here in Baton Rouge on a temporary work assignment.....he loved to fish so I put him on a few fishing holes in the area including bayou Sherman, Cheramie, Union canals, Henderson, Bayou Black (Gibson) and he loved Old River (Morganza)....we became pretty good friends....his last day here he fished Old River and did very good....he is the one who put me on to CRAPPIE.COM.....I just got an email from him and I will let his words in that email to tell the rest of the story......

My first thought also......I asked him but have not heard back from him.....

Really nice fish. I would have to lay two fish end to end to get that length on the tape. :) Well almost.

WOW, what a fish! What would something like that weigh? Any body have a guess? Please let us know Mr. Bruce.

Just heard back from my friend.....here is his comment on the weight.....

"Hey Bruce. Thanks! My eyes popped out of me head when I seen it. Thought I had a catfish or something on when I hooked it. Heavy weight. He weighted 3lb 10oz. If it was a female, it may have been a state record. "

That's a biggun for sure. Were was it caught?

Wow! I was going to guess between 3 and 4 lbs so I guess I would have been close! Impressive!
