This isn't internet lore, this is the legitimate new world record Black Crappie, caught last year in TN. It was caught in a farm pond, which to me makes it less of an accomplishment, because they can be managed for trophy status easier, but none the less it's a monster. That's not sour grapes on my part. If I'd caught the fish, I'd still be proud to be a world record holder. I've also read that the man who caught it is a great guy. He seems like it in the video.

Oh and you're gonna need a full blown crappie boat. Here's a local one for sale on Weiss lake. It comes with er'thang to fish with, all you need is a truck to pull it with and a fishing license. I have seen this boat in person. It's a bad dude.

It's just a matter of time before I break that record

This morning was my 1st trip with no crappie. Asians beat me to my spot.Thought this was a purdy ditch pickle though

I don't technically count Spots or Smallies as Ditch Pickles. I leave that designation for LM bass.

If the rain is gone I believe I'll go down to the dam in the morning and try it for a little while.

Big fish in a pond is just hunting free range in the big pen, you ask me.

Ol' Jam seems like a great guy.

Proud of his fish & rightly so.
