Enjoyed the photo!  A crappie that large coming through the hole is truly an awe-inspiring sight.

Ok everyone since George spilled the beans. I caught the fish Monday morning fishing at boysen. I weighed the fish on a certified scale today it's vey close to two and a half pounds and measures right at 15 1/4 in. Im going to the game and fish tomorrow to get it verified! Thanks for all the compliments everyone!  ;D
Great thing about ice fishing is, if the fish don't bite at least you know the "BEER" will stay cold!

Hey great fish let us know what it comes in at officially. Im very new to the area but living in Riverton and plan to fish boysen regularly. Ive got a vexilar and would like to chase them crappie and perch. Should I start upper or lower lake 6 to 10'? im a ft peck veteran but the little time i've spent on boysen makes me feel like a rookie. Thanks for your help everyong happy new year

Update on new state record Black Crappie!
« Reply #21 on: Jan 02, 2013, 07:12 PM »
OK everyone, i just got home a bit ago from the Casper Game and Fish office. I was greeted by Mr. Al Conder fisheries biologist for WGF. He verified that my fish was indeed the new state record Black Crappie. The form was filled out as follows length 15 3/8 in. girth 13 1/2 in. and weight of 2 lbs. 7.4 ounces! He then took several photos of me and the fish, and said to expect a call in the next few days for an interview for a news article! Needless to say I am extremely excited, thanks everyone for the compliments on my fish. What a way to end a great year of fishing, and begin another one ;D
