THAT, sir, is the all but mythical "barn door" sized version, without a doubt! Wonder just how much BIGGER she could get? (What do you call one bigger than "barn door"?)

Wow that is truly a monster.

Sorry I havent got back in here to answer a few of your questions. A friend of mine built a small lake approx 2 acres and asked me to bring some fish I catch from the Coosa River and stock his lake. I was against putting in Crappie but he insisted he wanted them. I caught Bass-B-Gill-Shellcracker-C-cats and brought by and put in his lake each time I caught any as it was on my way home. He had cut down 2 med.size oak trees and we managed to pull them into the upper end of lake. There were allredy small fingerling fish in this lake that came from a lake about a couple miles upstream on the small stream of water feeding his lake. I put 2 Crappie in that wted. 2 lbs at that time. I had permission to carry my G-Children fishing anytime. This fish was caught 3 yrs. after the initial stocking. We had caught several smaller that day. I measured the fish and took picture and released before it was stressed out. She had allresdy spawn out and I guessed about 4 lbs. Later that fall the owner called me to bring my Camera and new scales to check his Crappie he had caught. It was dead on 3 lbs. but was smaller than mine. I made his picture and his G-Son had at Funeral Home as he passed away later that year. Im allmost certain this was a White Crappie and was not a croosbreed of any type. I figure this fish was 5-6 yrs old at least. Both fish had the same overall appearance. I havent fished this lake since my friend passed away. BB

Great catch. If I catch one half that size next weekend, I will feel like it is a trophy. Congratulations! Sorry to hear about your friend. Life is good. Enjoy it while we can. Take care.
