4.3 Black Crappie 21 inches caught in the Saint Johns river in Florida in 1993 would have beat the state record but was on a Sunday evening at about 7:00 couldn’t find an official scorer until after about 10:30 that night. It was a female full of eggs and due to stress in a live tank she had expelled a lot of eggs as well as just flat out weight loss when he got there to weigh her she was 2 ozs less than the record of 3.83. Had a facsimile mounted but it was 3 inches shorter than the real fish and 4inches less in girth. The taxidermist swore it was the largest facsimile that he could get. All okay though I released her for some one else to dream about catching it. Caught three more that weighed from 3.5 to 3.78 lbs in the next three days. I will try to figure out how to post a pic of the mount and have a picture of the actual fish if I can find it it’s here somewhere but with the move I still haven’t found everything.
