    Well I'm 50 but a babe when it comes to crappie fishing. Caught a 13" and a 14" last weekend. Yesterday I caught this one that was 15.25". Its the 12th one I've caught ever so I'm really not sure if this is beginners luck, or an average fish. Seemed huge to me but would like to get others opinions. I would like to get one mounted but would like it to be a real trophy. I'm fishing the Alabama river area SW of Montgomery

      15.25 is a nice fish where ever you live.

      That's a nice fish, but I would hold out for one bigger. A 15.25 inch fish is probably right at 2 pounds. Alabama has some much bigger fish in it's water ways, and if you go after them often enough your certainly going to land one sooner or later. Luck or not, your doing a little something right, so keep after them while the fish are the most easiest to find and catch during the spring.

      A trophy fish is in the eyes of the person who caught it. I will say this, there are bigger ones out there but if to you that's one you would like to have mounted by all means do so. A doe is a trophy to a beginner hunter. So your Crappie is a nice one and would be worthy of mounting just for your memories.

      Those are nice fish in anyone's book but there are bigger out there. Great start to becoming a crappie addict.

      Very nice slab but if your just getting started I would hold out, you'll catch a bigger one
