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
