I am originally from Mississippi where the world record crappie comes from and I lived 45 minutes from the world famous Grenada lake. I've fished hard all my life at this lake and have seen several 4 lb. crappie come out of there. I've caught 3 crappie myself that reached that caliber of fish. One was 4 lb. 4 oz. the other was 4 lb. 1 oz. and the last was 4 lb. even. They were all over 19 inches. You want to see my you tube video of some real SLABS? Then go to.....CRAPPIE.COM SOUTHERN STYLE_0001.wmv - YouTube and let me tell ya that all 3 of my fish are on there. Then you be the judge!!!!
