Our crew in the Gray Ghost guided by Carlos Duggan caught this 18.5-inch crappie today:
It has six dorsal spines but by the body shape and coloration I suspect that it's a hybrid. In it's Post-Spawn condition it only weighed 2-pounds, 4-ounces.
During Pre-Spawn we've had 16-inch crappie that weighed well over 2-pounds and 17-inch crappie that weighed 3-pounds so this fish could well have been nearly 4-pounds if it was in good shape before the spawn.
It IS "going on the wall".
