quote:

John Horstman of Callaway County, MO, caught a giant 19-inch black crappie while fishing with his son on a private lake near their home. The fish registered 5.02 pounds on a scale certified by the state Department of Conservation and is now the official Missouri record for the species. And if that weight holds up to IGFA certification standards, Horstman’s catch will become the new all-tackle world-record.

Aren't Black Crappie's usually smaller than White Crappie?

Hmmm.


Records for white and black are usually pretty close to one another. I find that whites look bigger, but blacks weigh more for their size.

I've seen a couple over 4 lbs. That's a big crappie.

The giant crappie, by the way, has been donated to Bass Pro Shops and will eventually circle the aquarium at their Springfield store


Unless BPS was offering a whole bunch of gift cards in return that fish would've been on my wall, not in their tank

I caught the two biggest sacalait of my life yesterday on back to back cast. They went 16" but only weighed around 2lbs, both spawned out. I couldn't imagine adding 3 more pounds to those fish

That's got nothing on the perch those underwater welders saw that time at your local lock and dam. And don't even get me started on the catfish
