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.
