Now that is a good one. I have only weighed 1 crappie ever, but I do measure them for the length if they are really large or on the small side to see if they are legal.

Nice fish! What did it weigh?...J/K. Most of mine get released too, though some get measured on the Hawg Trough & photographed first.

A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.
