"I dropped the rod, and I was sitting there shaking like crazy. I have never seen a crappie that big.” Great to hear a story like that. That young fella was certainly excited, eh? And rightfully so.
Very cool, congratulations to him.
Well done. "Hank the Tank" is money in the bank.
That’s the lake Allatoona record that was broken.
The Georgia state record for white crappie was caught in 1984 out of a Bibb county pond . It weighed an even 5# .
I could go on and on about the monster crappie fish you can ketch right off the bank, but as you folks have probably noticed, this fella did not use anything high tech to ketch his fish .Quote:

Good for him , I wonder what the biggest crappie on record is in the US.
The Georgia state record white crappie was caught from the bank on a minnow , and IIRC , using a cane pole , bobber combo .Quote:

"For example, the largest record black crappie touted by many sources is a 6-pounder taken in Louisiana in November 1969 by Lettie Robertson. At one time, the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) considered the catch a world record. But no photos of the fish are available, and other information about the catch is minimal. Though the IGFA has retired the fish from its record book, the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame still lists this massive 6-pounder as the world-record."
Nice one! But I can't tell its a white crappie from that pic.
