my mom caught one when i was about 15. i was super jealous. i've caught probably 150 to 200 that were over 2 pounds but have never caught a 3 pounder. i did have a huge crappie come up with a 9 incher that i caught this year. i'm pretty sure it was trying to eat the 9 incher. it had to be 4 pounds or more, that's the biggest one i have ever laid my eyes on.
Yeah c’mon. Daniel White

A buddy and I were fishing Holt a year ago, and he caught a crappie on a spinner bait that was 3.1 #

My dad has a couple mounted that his dad caught years ago.....I don't know how much they weighed, but they're hefty. They're also more greenish than the silver ones you usually see around here. Think they came out of either Sardis or Arkabutla, but I won't swear to it.

I have caught 3 over 3 and one 4. Both off Logan Martin back in the 80's. Back when I actually had time to fish like I wanted. That's when there were plenty of good fish in there. People from up North have fished it to death and keeping way to many over the limit.

It takes a monstrous crappie to weigh 3 lbs. I haven’t caught one that big and I’m not referring to anyone above who has replied but there have been a whole lot of 2 or 3 pound crappie claimed to be caught that have never seen a set of scales. I had never weighed a crappie until last season spring and I weighed a whole lot of crappie last year and my biggest was 1lb 14 oz. for the year. It would have weighed well over 2 lbs if it had still been full of eggs but it wasn’t. It was a big ol crappie and if I hadn’t weighed it I would have guessed it weighed 2 1/2 lbs.
I’ve heard lots of bass fishermen who say they’ve caught 2-3 pound crappie while bass fishing but none of them ever said they weighed them.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

My mom caught one back around 1970-72. We fished Short Creek in March every year for crappie back then. It usually wasn't difficult to catch a limit of very close back then. We stopped at Paul Berry's store in Warrenton on the way home and weighed her fish. It bumped the scale to 3lbs 3oz.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I’ve heard lots of bass fishermen who say they’ve caught 2-3 pound crappie while bass fishing but none of them ever said they weighed them. Mine was weighed. Told my wife if it went 3,I was having it mounted. I released it over 1 once.

I caught one when I was a teenager that was certainly over 3, but no it wasn't weighed. The body on that sucker was big as a dinner plate and it had a huge gut. This one came out of a private lake on a rooster tail, I brought it home and kept it in my grandparents' deep freezer forever. Nobody knows what happened to it, I'm guessing my grandma threw it away eventually.

Yes I have. But the largest one I have ever seen was one my then 6 yr old hung and fought for a while. It came off when I tried to lip it like a dummy. Had the mouth of a 4-5lb largemouth. We still talk about it, absolute stud and in the same location I've caught a few over 3.
