    Scanning my fish pic "library"(Library of Congress{C.com}) I came upon a notable trophy worth "bumping to the TOP"! Could the notable/blessed angler bring the unaware viewers(members/non) up to speed with details and hopefully a pic of it's NEW(drier) home display?? I know it's 7.5 years ago and may be beating a but I remember Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Seabiscuit etc.

    SLAB RESPONDED with the following:

    I caught that fish. It's only 2.5 pounds but still huge to me. I've caught other 2.5 pound fish, but this is the prettiest one. Believe it or not, I've fished all across this country and my biggest is only 2.5 lbs, but it's true, and I don't care. 2.5 is plenty big enough for me. My other 2.5 lb fish were caught on Sardis fishing with Orville. This Florida Black Crappie was purdier tho. I may have to find pics of both and share.

    Oh, to finish the story with the Crescent Lake fish. It was a crappie.com event and I was fishing with my father-in-law. We were fishing with Slab Rigs and of course Slabsauce (no minners). We forgot the net, and I lipped it immediately the first time it surfaced. Quite a surprise.



    Here’s the two and a half pounder off Sardis, MS, I was talking about. Orville framed the picture for me so this is a pic of a pic. Billbob was on the boat with us as well. This was caught on Capps Coleman rig with minnows doused with slabsauce. Yep we sprayed slabsauce on our Minner’s. Billbob can attest to that as it was his idea at that time. Thanks Ted.


    This is that (mounted) one from Crescent. It was only 15 inches long, but fat.



    And here's a better pic of the mount. Doug's pic seems a little elongated for some reason.

    Is't this kind of post of mine funny. Everyone remembers the day and moment they caught the big one. Everyone has their own stories. Feel free to share...

      Very nice fish. Anything over 2 pounds has my respect. Now that I use 2lb line a lot, let me tell you about a genuine battle to the net…….

      Nice fish! Thanks for posting the pics.

      You have to quit saying "only" 2.5 pounds...I know plenty of people who fish their whole life and never catch a crappie that big. Not everybody gets to fish in waters that grow giant crappie. Trophy fish vary in size depending on who's holding the rod and their fishing experience.
