Well most of mine are...

But this about this fish

Two of the biggest crappies I had ever seen, although this isn't a good pic, but they were in the 15-16" range!

Here's my personal best ..caught in 1990 ..held by Buffdmac { Matthew} at age 5..

Black Crappie was 16 inches long and 2 pounds even...

I never caught many crappie until I lived in Auburn (for college) and I caught a lot in the ponds there. This is my biggest and the rest of the catch one day. I cooked some southern style (aka-fried) and a friend in grad school with me from China made a chinese crappie soup

That sounds like a plan. I haven't fished anything up here at all. Except Madison County Lake trout pond. Never fished Eufaula either. All my fishing has been when I was younger on the Choctawahatchee and Pea rivers back home in Geneva, and in Auburn in ponds that were available to us fisheries students. I mainly did saltwater down on Dauphin Island where I did my research. Tons of trout, flounder and reds! Thats what re-kindled my desire for freshwater where it all started!
