Strange crappie
Caught this crappie on lake decatur today. After catching it i thought that it was just plum full of shad. But after i got home i cut it open and a clear liquid came out. This was a ten inch crappie that weighed just shy of 15 ounces.

Maybe some sort of infection. Looks he could have used a TUMS.

Yes probably Dropsy
I have a gold fish in the freezer that looks exactly like that crappie.
I had it in my outside pond for the last 5 years....
It did get about 12 inches.
Ill mount it up some day.
