world record black crappie?

**KCMO CRAPPIESLAYER** · 03-01-2009, 02:02 PM

just sitting here watching some bill dance. he's finally doing a show on crappie fishing. he just said the world record black crappie was 6 lbs. caught in the 50's somewhere in louisiana. and the white crappie i think he said was 5.3 lb's...i was looking all around the internet and did look like the world record on a white was 5.3 lb's i think...but the black well i found, world record was 4.8 and then i found i think right at 5 lb's...but could'nt find a record of a 6 lb black crappie. anyone know anything about a 6 lb black crappie. don't know why bill dance would come up with false info so was just wondering

The world records I find are not up to date anyway. The record for brown bull head was only like 5lb. until I found the Washington record at 11. I will bet Bill has done enough research to find the biggest fish from all the states so I would believe him before the internet. I would email him and ask him where he got information from.

According to the back cover of my Missouri fishing reg. book, the "world" record black crappie is 5lb. 0 oz.
I believe he is in the aquarium at PBS in Columbia MO and they named him "Pat" caught in a farm pond.

So far I have been able to find at least a 6lb. 2oz black and a 5lb. 2oz. white. The part that sucks is I can find different sites to report the records for the same state and they are rarely the same.

Don't know about the record black, but they have the world record white mounted in the visitors center at Enid Lake Mississippi where it was caught. 5 pounds 3 ounces

KCMO I'm sure all his info is gave to him by somebody else, so his info only has a 50/50 chance of being correct. How do you like those shows being done on private lake & ponds. Would like to see more on public waterways.

Yep. I don't think the 6#er Illinois DNR is recognized by the IFGA as the world record. At least that's what my understanding is.

I agree! Fishing private lakes and ponds is kind of like shooting fish in a barrell!
