I'm spoiled, I fish a "private" lake filled with monster crappie, the typical size is between 14 and 18 inches, if you find one, you've actually found about 40 of them. Great genetics in that lake, but the biggest crappie I ever caught was in Webster, MA. I was targeting a monster bass on a sandbar next to a drop off, using a 4" white grub. It weighed 4 lb. 0 oz. and was 26" long (the length was a rough estimate, I had a scale, but no way to measure it) . Looking back on it, I should have kept that one, or atleast taken a decent photo of it. [:@] Just another brilliant moment for me... Atleast I have the memory, that's good enough for me. It was a really big fish, sure, but wouldn't have broken the MA state record.

Here'a the world record..



For Mother's Day, Peggy Hopper from Crofton got a new Shakespeare rod and a Zebco 33 reel. She wasted no time in putting to good use. While fishing at a watershed lake in northern Christian County she caught what may turn out to be the largest black crappie ever caught in the world.

The slab weighed in at 4-pounds 14-ounces. It's over 21 inches long. The crappie is more than a half pound bigger than the previous Kentucky state record and six ounces bigger than the world record. It's size and weight have been confirmed by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The state of Kentucky does not differentiate between black and white crappie for its state records, but the International Game Fish Association does. The current IGFA world record for black crappie is 4-pounds 8-ounces. That fish was caught at Kerr Lake in Virginia.

Peggy caught her fish by casting a Crystal Shad Rooster Tail spinner around a small log next to the bank.

We fish some farm ponds in southern Iowa and they have MONSTER crappies. Never weighed any but I would bet that they would go over 2 lbs. I would also bet there are some record breakers swimming around in some of them.
