mine was 19 1/2 from here in central pa. get alot of 15-18" but can only find them in the spring for some reason, not sure why i know they are in there but just very hard to locate through the ice!!!! any tips send em my way, this lake is only small under 150 acres deepest part ive found is 11' and have fished that area for ever with no good results through the ice. most of the ones we get lucky to catch through the ice come from 6' or so. i have been all over this lake looking, but would like some info from some real crappie hunters like yourselfs that have even caught some pig crappie!!!! thanks guys EYEFISHERMAN D.T.

Biggest Crappie i have ever taken threw the ice was a 20inch 3lbs 9 oz..... its was HUGGGE and when i put it in the bucket it was folded in half and it bounced the bucket all over the ice even with the Ice auger on top.

I caught one that completely went across a five gallon bucket on top, in front of a dec officer checking licences . He said it was the biggest one he had ever seen taken out of lake george. I will have to measure the top of a bucket to see what it was for length.

Scout 24 · « **Reply #73 on:** Jan 25, 2014, 09:52 AM »

Our State Record is 17 3/4" and we've caught a few to 17" that we mounted. Now we release any 15"and over and feel better for it, my ideal eater is 12-13" anyways.

Wow that's a lot of great looking crappies

Trump · « **Reply #80 on:** Feb 14, 2014, 09:33 AM »

im proud of my sixteen and it was a hoot to catch but i have a lot of work to do if im gona catch and 18 lol are you guys catching the big ones on private lakes if so how do you clean your fish out ive heard as soon as you put crappies in you need to take 150 out a year to keep them in check whats your thoughts

ranger66 · « **Reply #81 on:** Feb 14, 2014, 06:56 PM »

I caught my 18 3/4" on a sandpit lake in So. Sarpy County,Nebraska. We try and keep a lot of 8-10" fish for eating and release the 12-14" fish. I was told by a fisheries biologist that by keeping my big crappie I was not harming the population. In fact, a fish that size is somewhere around 7 yrs old and is at the end of its life anyways and not sure how viable of a reproducer it is at that age?

Squarehog · « **Reply #82 on:** Mar 05, 2014, 11:58 PM »

Those are some slabs! I got a couple good ones through the ice this year just shy of 13"

14 INCH PB WANT TO BEAT IT THIS SPRING

Glowjigger · « **Reply #84 on:** Mar 06, 2014, 01:21 PM »

I had no idea crappie got as big as some of the ones on this thread. Some monsters for sure! My biggest is 12.5''.

Cranker · « **Reply #85 on:** Dec 13, 2014, 06:32 PM »

16 inches. Caught on a tungsten jig and a minnow.

lostman · « **Reply #86 on:** Dec 14, 2014, 10:39 PM »

first real try for them and got a 15.5" not many crappie lakes here nevermind lots with good size. lost one becase it was a tight squeeze in the 8" hole as well, figured about the same length or a bit more but it was huge thickness and depth wise

one crapty part about being 6'6" with massive hands is i can never have fish look truly huge without it being a gargantuan fish

My son with his first crappie ever...15"

Little "Chit"!!

VDueslerIV · « **Reply #88 on:** Jan 01, 2015, 04:51 PM »

barrelslime · « **Reply #89 on:** Jan 21, 2015, 01:59 PM »

This guy knows his stuff when it comes to big crappie. Iv seen some monsters he has posted on Crappie.com. My personal best is 17 1/2"

Quote from: Paul D. on Feb 10, 2012, 07:19 PM

Hard to say usually only measure or weigh um when fishing tournies; probably 18" thru the ice.
