A 13" crappie is a pretty nice crappie. But you can catch some that are 14-16" some times. ive never got one 16" but i have cought one that was 15" You catch anything else while you were fishin? Im sure you will like the taste of those crappie. they are really good.

nope.. seen some guys catch northerns but all we got was crappies. alot of bites but they were lite. them things are scally. made a mess cleaning them. but i thought they were one of the ezier ones to clean

I caught a 18' crappie last year, and the film didn' t come out!, pissed me off. Those are all nice crappie, and crappie are great to eat, but bluegill or shellcracker are better. I can' t bring myself to eat many bass because I hate for them to not grow up.
