Question on size.

[Granite]

Was crappie fishing and caught a 15 and 3/4 inch female full of eggs. Forgot to change battiers in my scale this spring. Any one know the weight of a crappie that size. Released her so don't know.

If you released her as heavy as you want her to be.

Well i was hoping at least 3 pounds but i don't think she was , soooo i think i'll call her 2 and 3/4 .

It's really hard to say. The biggest crappie I've ever caught was 3lb and wasn't but a shade over 15" long. It was river fish and they are short and stocky. She was loaded with eggs and very thick across the back. I've caught a 2.75 and few 2.60s from other lakes and they've been around 16" long. Longest fish I ever caught was probably 16.25" and weighed 2.29, but it was in the winter before she really bulked up too

Can tell you a 17" crappie will be right at 3 pound (caught quite a few that size) and have had some about the size of your probably 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 pounds since she's full of eggs. A nice fat 16" will push 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 pounds.

Thickness has a lot to do with weight and can see a pretty large different in the same length fish. Standard size with weights are just not that exact.
