Yep, I posted a photo of my personal best at 17" and 2.8 pounds that was caught just a few weeks ago. Water was still cool and the fish was still weeks away from the spawn. It wouldn't surprise me at all to catch that same fish today a few weeks later and have it hit 3 pounds with a full egg sack.
I am not complaining, a few years ago I was dragging my feet, wife wanted to go away on vacation, I wanted to stay home and fish. This one is one huge crappie caught by my son on a great day with three generations in a 14' aluminum!

When I first started crappie fishing, I didn’t know that a 3 lb crappie was a huge achievement,,,so we never took the time to weigh them in,,I was always looking for those 4-5 lbers being the home of the 3 lb crappie as it was,,,,my buddie Scottie and I caught several 3 lbers one day in 2017 on Butla that weighed in over 3 lbs,,, Scottie had his personal best I believe that day with 3 over 3.3 lbs,,,I weighed one at 2.99 lbs and several over 2.5… it was a crazy season for some monster crappie that year,,,I’m very thankful for my mentor Captain Scottie aka “ Trypman1” for teaching the art of crappie fishing,,,,especially now looking back , it was to be my last days of fishing since my wife stroked and have needed me by her side ever since,,,,anyway,,,my last days of crappie with Captain Scottie and.just a pair of monsters caught that early spring morning. Thanks you buddy,, love you my friend!

I fished for years without a scale, so I don't know what the biggest ever was. But the best I've weighed in the past year 1.8 lbs. Based on the size of that one, I'm certain that I have broken the 2 lb mark, but I doubt I ever got close to 3.

I’ve had a really good year. Upgraded my pb since original post with a 3.06lb in March. Also upgraded my pb black bass with an 8.5lb. Although caught on different days. Both weighed, photographed, and released.
Sometimes those cold windy days pay off.
