I've caught a couple like that over the years. It probably has an abscess in it's gut. Ya' notice how thin it is over the rest of its body?
This feller hasn't missed many meals. I've never seen a gut like that on a crappie. Finished with 11 keepers. Caught them from 18 inches deep to 12 foot. All on jigs.

Nice catch of feesh tho. It's probably getting tough over on the river now.

Abscess?? Good thing he didn't make the cut. I'd hate to put a knife through that. That just sounds gross. They're definitely scattered right now.
So an abscess? I always thought it was a beer belly!
Abcess??? Looks to me like he swallered a golf ball.....the way I play it coulda been one of mine from up here in Missouri.
