    Cool Big Illinois Crappie


    My buddy caught a 16" 2.1 pound crappie today. I tried to put it on a video and post the video on a board so you guys can watch it. Let me know if it works.

    Default Big Illinois crappie

    Redtick - I have heard stories of 16 inch crappie coming out of the lake, but that picture finally makes me a believer. Give my congratulations to your buddy.

    We think this crappie may be a Lake Mattoon record but I plan on catching a bigger one this summer.
    I am glad to have Lonnie as a good, reliable fishing partner.

    That's sure a beauty red,ya definitely don't see em like that in illinois to often.In fact,that's only the second 16 inch fish i've seen in illinois since i've been fishing.Tell your buddy congrads for me,that would sure go nice above the fireplace.

    Default That's Awesome

    Good luck on catching one bigger than that on Mattoon lake red.
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.
