Hog alert !

Did yawl see the fish "Linda" managed at the Weatherford crappie house yesterday ? WOW what a Jim dandy ......she didn't even realize what a toad it was ....had it laying in her ice chest 6 hours before one of my buds said you better go weigh that fish .......
18.5 inches and 2.9 lbs ......congrats for sure ....her and her husband are really nice folks ....been there a many times with only me and them ....and yes they hurt the fish well .....lol
I think it is a new lake record ....2.8 was the last year record set there if I remember correctly .....
The hogs are running yawl .....best freshen up the ole fishing line and be ready .....:highfive

sounds good but where's the pic Ketchn? you are good about posting and here you go teasing us!

Yes they are, but I would have thought an 18.5" crappie would be a little heavier? I know we have caught a lot of 17" fish here over the years and my biggest is 18.25", didn't weigh that one or very many actually. However I did weigh one 17" that my wife caught and that fish was 2.91#. All of these were from 4 years ago or longer. Hva not been able to break 16.5" the last few years, but the floods didn't help the last 2 years.

here is a photo ...I imagine it went over 3 when it was fresh Skip .....sure is a dandy fish

Hog crappie for sure. My personal best was 17 1/2" and 3.25 lbs from my neighbors pond. This gal is giddy with her catch for sure. Appreciate your posting this one Ketchin'.

Looks like she is in hawg heaven, too!

That sure looks like a good one and looks like 3# to me, but maybe it's sides have not filled up yet? I know that fish if thick like it should be would be probably close to 4#. I have had 16 1/2" fish weigh 2 1/2 pounds.

Would it be too much to ask, what did this great catch bite on?
I live in the area and only recently got into fishing, so apologies if it's inappropriate to ask, especially being as this is my first post on the forum.

Now that's a crappie

I would recommend a Bobby Garland Baby Shad in Electric Chicken, Monkey Milk, Watermelon Wine. Or, anything with chartreuse and black from the Bobby
Garland line.
