    Spring time, spider rigging w minnows. Make bet with 11 year old son that he can't catch another 3 lbs. The week before I had set the hook in one and let him pull it in with me being net man. He wanted it on the wall and I wanted it in my belly. I WON. But my bet ended up being if he caught another 3 (set it, bring it up, and hold it till I got the net under it) I would mount it for him. We had a short net back then. Needless to say the first fish he hooked into was a 3. HE WON

    I’m less than 2 hours from Josh. I’ve messaged with him back and forth on here before. He definitely knows what he’s doing

    I'm still looking for my first 3 pounder. Come to think of it, still hunting my first 2 pounder!

    Haven't landed one, yet

    But, I'm pretty sure I hooked into one .... TWICE (consecutive days) ... fishing a minner under a float on a 10' collapsible pole while fishing the "buck brush" at Barkley Lake, late April, back in the early 1970's

    I know it had to have been the same fish, because it was hooked in the same spot each day. I'm pretty sure it was a 3# fish, because I had been catching 2.75# fish and swinging them in the boat on that pole. When I hooked into HER, I had to stand on my tippy toes, hold the pole over my head, and try to swing it towards me. First day's attempt I skipped her across the top of the motor of my 15' boat & she got off .... second day's attempt I overcompensated my swing towards me and flung her on the other side of the boat and she came off when she landed in the water.

    Here's a pic of the size fish I "WAS" able to successfully swing to me & land :

    I just tossed a jig into the aquarium at Bass Pro.

    BP was kind enough not to press charges.

    I’ve caught 10 at the 3 pound mark....all black nose crappie casting and retrieving a Trout Magnet. Three of those fish came from the catch basin directly below Normandy Dam...1 a year for 3 consecutive years all in the spring. I’ve caught 2 out of a TWRA lake....one in the summer and the following year in the spring. The others came off of Center Hill Lake in the spring. Two pound crappie are pretty much normal in Center Hill Lake....3 pound fish there while not the norm it is not uncommon for a lot of 3 pound crappie out of there.
