Biggest crappie you have hooked but got off before you could land him?
I will start the ball with my story. It was a 4+ pounder that I got within 3 feet of the net before the hook pulled loose. Doh I knocked leaves off of trees for a quarter mile radius with my cussin'. :o And yes, he/she would have gone 4- I have a 3 pounder on the wall and have seen/caught a few more in the 3's. He/she was as wide as your fist, as long as your hand/forearm, and had mugged some bass for it's mouth. :D
OK, let's try to keep some semblance of truth with the posts here....
