5 lb OH crappie?

[FurFlyin]

One of the guys at work showed me a picture today of a monster black crappie. Supposed to be a 5lb fish from OH. Anyone know anything about it? The picture shows a fish laying on the ground with a guys arm beside the fish. It's as long as his hand and forearm. It might be one of those floating Internet pictures but figured someone on here would know.

We have a protected fish nursery area near here in which many 4#+ crappie were netted in a trap net while targeting other species. Spoke with the area biologist this morning and he shared that they had them up to 21". No weights as they were after other species. That's in NW Pa.

i discussed fish over 3 with my friend just yesterday
told him the more folks after them these days and especially with the technology available to use
its likely most of the REALLY large fish in the over 4 range will be from private waters in the near future .
just like that new world record , i have one such spot i found and am trying to lease that water for just me to hit
lost that lease a few years ago ,but to be sure it has fish over 4 in those waters .

Yep that's the pic I saw? Is it legit?

I would think that in order for that fish to be that the boards it's laying would atleast have to be 2x8 maybe 2x10. Possibly a small person.

My son asked if they measured it at 21" why didn't they take a picture of the tape measure
