Big crappie

This is the biggest crappie I have ever seen. I took a short vacation to the east coast and caught it last weekend. Sorry about the cell phone photo. I wish I had some nice pictures of chromers I have been catching here in Oregon but I don't, and I haven't been catching them. Congrats to all you folks that have been. Here is my crappie, it's all I got. It hit a plastic salamander while I was bass fishing.

Holy smokes man, that would be a state record around here (or very close to it). NICE! And I like the battered n' fried idea too.

I'll bet it fought like a bass as you brought it in!

Sweet - don't you just love those fish. Nothing like the fight using the prefect rod and reel, we have a nice population of decent sized fish just up the road a piece. Nice job and never apologize for a picture, my Digital SLR takes pictures like my point and shoot phone camera...my problem is I have no eye, I can see the shot, and miss it totally:rolleyes::think:.

Thanks for the post....

or in the "Fishing for other species" section maybe.

thanks for all the responses. I actually threw it back. I was hoping it would eat up all the small bass in the lake, because it is our family's little secret lake and it we have caught and released some hawgs in there over the years. I do like the taste of crappie. I imagine it weighed well over 3 lbs but not quite near the state record of almost 5lbs. I really had no idea crappie could get that big.
Yeah, I posted in the wrong location.
I caught it on an ultralight Abu-Garcia rod, but I have to be honest: the cold water temp and the fact that I hooked it 5 ft off the canoe led to a less-than ferocious battle.

NICE fish man. I don't think I would've had the will power to let that one go - it would be destined for the plate - since that single fish would be a meal for me & a guest :)
