Mine was between 16-17" caught when I was much younger, lol...I remember it looked like a whale to me. Caught it off a diving platform at a lake in southern Indiana our family camped at alot.
Post your largest crappie to date (heck, guess if you didn't measure it, you aren't gonna win anything anyway :p) , if you've got pics, post them as well. I gotta decide which state holds the bigguns, because one day, my rich uncle is getting out of the poor-house ;)
