Tell me what is the length of this fish in the picture above.

What do you all think this crappie above is. Sorry about second Post.

Probably a little over 16". Here is the instructions for measuring.

Certifying Your Fish By Length and Photo:

https://dwr.virginia.gov/wp-content/...-size-fish.jpg

• Lay the fish on top of or beside a flat measuring ruler. Do not lay the ruler over the curvature of the fish’s body.
• Close the fish’s mouth and squeeze the tail lobes together.
• Measure from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail to the nearest ¼-inch. See diagram.
• If there is an observer, have the observer verify the length and include them in the witness information on the application. You are required to include a picture of the fish being properly measured on all trophy fish applications. The photo must be clear and legible!
• Fish certified by length only (no certified weight), do not qualify for “Angler of the Month & Year Awards”.

Thank you Barnacle Bill for your expert advice..I'm trying to send my picture to Angler recognition program at the Department of wildlife Resources. Thanks.

Congratulations!

Thanks Bill .

Im surprised they called that a white, did you count the fins and its not a black? I didnt think we had any whites north of Buggs.

Congratulations on a great catch!
Looks like a black to me as well.
The VA Game and Fish Department or whatever they are calling themselves these days, ain't what it used to be.
Took me about 18 months to finally get my Master Angler Level 2 award. Still had typos and other mistakes besides having to print it out myself. Shame, used to be a great program!
