    Default Huge Crappie, True or False?


    Anyone seen this photo? It was posted on another forum. Story is, it was caught in IL out of a farm pond by this young man who had permission from the land owner to fish as long as he threw everything he caught back in the water. It was stated it weighed 5lb 1oz on his digital scales but he threw it back as he had promised to do. Anyone know anything about it?

    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

    Might be a real pic with camera play. Looks like he is standing slightly angled with Crappie closer to camera giving the deception of much larger fish than it is. Looks like a good fish but I doubt a person would throw that back if it is 5lbs. And if he had to throw em back that bass that is dried out and rolled in the dirt aint gonna make it.
