Wow, that's a giant. Long. Bigger than my biggest. Great job.
Wooo, now that’s the way to do it. Nice fish Roy. And man what a smile.
Great job! Cool that you got the length, weight, and picture, and let her go! Completely acceptable to taxidermy a personal best, or even eat one, but glad to see some released unharmed too.

WTG Roy! I got my one and only 3+ at Buggs too. It only took me 50-60 years to catch it at the mouth of Little Buffalo.
Got my only 3 from Santee Cooper on Easter Sunday in 1988. Hugh Crittenden did the mount, he was twice the price of everyone else and it was worth every cent. When I knock the dust off its looks like it just came out of the water. 3 lb 6 oz, 18 inches and thick too. It was my first fish of the day that day, I didn't care if I didn't catch another one all day.
Roy I updated my picture, I really need to catch a good crappie and take a new one. I'll work on that tomorrow I hope. Good luck to all that get to go.

Best looking crappie mount I ever saw. He said Hugh Crittenden mounted it so that’s where I took mine. I’m glad I did. I tried to get my wife’s crappie done there, he had stopped mounting fish, I think he is retired now.
What a beautiful fish Roy. A smile from ear to ear. Only thing missing is that signature Green Bay Packers hat.

Kinda giving the Packers hat a break. Hard for me to support the NFL and some of their policies. I loved the Packers most of my entire life. Tough year to be a fan of almost any major sport.
Here is a picture of my 1st 3lb crappie from a few years ago. It is a replica. I think it turned out pretty good.

Congrats on your latest 3+ pounder Roy. Although I've never met you... I have a feelin' it couldn't have happened to a nicer and more deservin' feller.
Congrats on a great catch!
yes that is a nice one, pretty mount. Where that one come from ? My memory not too good was that from that special private lake ?Quote:

My other 3 pounder came from Swift Creek Reservoir fishing from shore near where I used to live.
All 3 are special memories.
What a donkeyhawg! Never seen a fish half that size. Happy for your banner year!
