seen a lady with a fish over 4 a few years ago that she caught on a zebco set up .
it was supposed to be a state record , but it eventually turned out to be a hybrid when the state tried to certify it .

Yeah ... that would be Penny Hopper's 4lb 14oz Crappie caught here in KY (21.5" Length - 18" Girth) ... but it was originally thought to be a World Record Black Crappie, until it was found to be a hybrid & downgraded to just a state record (Ky does not distinguish between Crappie species).
