    17" and 3.25 lbs. Private pond that was not supposed to have any crappie in it. It was reported to be fished out.
    Caught 2 more that were 16 1/2" and 16". Owner could not believe I caught them from a pond full of perch.
    Fought like a bass on UL using a black and chart hand tied crappie jig.
    2014 early spring.

    Couldn't figure out how to reply to the thread so ill just do it here. Actually my biggest crappie was 17 inches but I've had 2 caught off my boat im much prouder of. First ones my avatar. It was over 16 inches and the first crappie my granddaughter had ever caught. She cast set the hook and boated it without a bit of help. Grandpa was popping buttons. The second was caught by a friend of mine that gave me lits of pointers and got me started catching crappie. He used to live here and fished my favorite lake list. Now he manages to get back atleast once a year.last year when he came out was a strange year for me. Crappie weren't where they should be. We fished all of his favorite spots. We caught a few but not many. I took him to a spot I had been catching lots at. He looked at me funny as I pulled in there. I can understand that. I would have never fished it either but I stopped there by mistake earlier. I figure I had stopped I would give it a few cast. Turned out to be the most productive spot I found all year.
    We started fishing and caught several. Then he hooked a slab. It was over 16 inches. Turned out to be the biggest one he had ever caught out of that lake. I was thrilled for him. I live in Oregon and we don't get the monsters like are caught in the south. This 2 fish were really exceptional.

    Don't have a pic of mine, but I'll tell a short story. Normandy Lake in Middle Tennessee, Monday morning and I'm not going to keep any fish cuz I have to work later on. !/8 oz sickle jigs and BGBS Blue thunder, and it's December 11 in 2012. Deep jigging, a rod in each hand and the rod goes "THUMP!" in a big way. This fish is over 2lbs. I gotta see where this goes, so I fill the live well and slide her in. It was a day when things just go right. No short fish caught that day. If it hit, it was a quality fish. I called Fishawk and told him to get over here, it's going on. I arrived at 7 and fished til 10, when Fishawk arrived with a bucket. I hung the bucket and got a tare weight, added the 12 fish I now had in the well and it was just shy of 18lbs. 3 of those fish 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6lbs. That big one translated to 2lb 9 1/2oz., my largest to date. Also the biggest bag to date, with the biggest 3 clearing 7lbs. Fishawk got right to business and stayed about 3 or 4 hrs and caught 3 fish, one was a good one. but the bite was over. Tried to release them, and most swam off but 4 wouldn't revive. I took them to the folks that owned the local Chinese Restaurant that I eat at and you would have thought I had given him gold. Put the boat up and off to work. Days like this are what keep me coming back.

    I don't have a picture of my P.B. either. It was 2 lb. 12 oz. caught on Jordan Lake in central North Carolina. I was fishing a local club team tournament that paid off to the top 3 places in heaviest crappie, the top 3 teams in combined weight of the best 10 crappie, then it had a calcutta side tournament for big bass, big hybrid, big bream, big catfish, and big fish overall. My crappie won big crappie, my partner's won second in big crappie, and our best 10 crappie beat everybody else by 3 pounds. We had a great day. I'd found a channel beside a big flat that some grown crappie had moved into. Everybody else was fishing shallow, while we targeted deeper water for heavier fish. We didn't catch nearly as many, but the quality of fish was superior.

    We also won the big bass, big hybrid, and big fish overall in the calcutta to take home $1,300. It was nice to get paid for fishing. My fishing buddy has since passed away. It was great for him to have bragging rights around the club that year. I got memories I'll always treasure and a personal best I try to beat every time I go.
