I watched my brother catch one pushing 18" in a gravel pit in South LA years ago.

i swear that dude would be a talented outdoorsman if he ever put his mind to it. not that the sac au lait was anything more than a die-roll between the three of us.

i think i drove him off of fishing when i broke that shitty old paddle over his back. we were paddling in opposite directions in the same boat; him towards the sac au lait spot and me towards the bank for bass. lol. then he threw his paddle across the pond to spite me & i had to go get it by paddling with the net.

16.5 in the BC spillway. Ponds off the river road. Maybe luck but he ate

But they're both sac a lait

don't start

If in LA, a 3lb 4 oz crappie would be a top 10 state record fish...at least per the current wildlife & fisheries list.

Just FYI for everyone, these are the LA records:

All records can be found here: Louisiana State Fish Records

I didn't know there were different species. I should thaw him out and weigh him. I wonder if he would place on that list.

ETA: nevermind, judging by that chart it will only be 1.4 pounds.

My uncle fishes with Richard Brooke on that list a lot. They've been slaying them in Poverty Point this year on a spider rig...pretty much everything is 2+ lbs.

In Alabama's Lake Weiss a 3 lber rarely gets a second glance

Supposedly there have been 5 lb plus taken in that lake but never officially registered.
We stopped for breakfast before the tourney at a lakeside eatery and they had several 4 lb plus mounted in a glass case.

Unreal lake for crappie. So-so for bass.
