The Mississippi River just south of the Canadian Border. 4.6 lb average I hear.

If someone caught 6 crappie all over 3 #, my hat is off to them. And that lake will be the lake. And that state will be the state.
For that matter if I saw 6 fish on one stringer all over 2# my hat is off to them. How many of you caught a crappie over 3#?

In my lifetime plenty. However, I have had over 60 years practice......

By the way, they look better,smell better, and taste better in a plate than hanging on a wall. MOAO

I second the motion on that one. I'll trade you a 3 pounder for a 13" fish all day long........Dem big bones ruff on a fish cutter.

Dang LJ, you beat me to it

I was gonna say they taste the best at 10-11" to me -
when the showin' off's done and the eatin starts, I'd trade
two pounders for .9's all day long.

As a kid growing up here in Alabama, We used to throw back what i keep now. any thing under 12" we cosidered it small. Ive caught many 3 & 3 1/2# crappie on one trip. But like CP I've had almost 50 years at it. As far as which state has most largest crappie. I'd have to say Alabama & Mississippi.

Yep, them's even better..............But we can't dream of eatin' fishes that little here with the 12" rule. Sure does hurt to get in them 10" -12" fish hot-n-heavy, and hafta chunk'em back. Fine eatin'

I'll stick with good ole Mississippi, it holds the world record crappie, and I've caught several crappie over 3 pounds, and my biggest is 3 3/4 pound.
I have a three crappie wall mount that is 2- 3 1/2's and the 3 3/4 pound, and would sell for the right price.
They can be seen on Ms. Big Crappie board on page 9 or 10 I think. Bill Dance say's there will be another world record crappie coming from from Ms. in the future.

You all can worry about the weight and I will worry about being over count. :p 15 one pounders eat lots better than any five 3 pounders.

Tennessee has the best all around fisheries by far. Can't keep the Yankees out of the state any more because of fishing quality. Most my neighbors are now Yankees. Got 'em from Utah to New York.:rolleyes:
