Those are some sweet fish!!!!!!!!!  Have always wanted to try Red Lake, how good is it?  I would be driving about 300 miles.  Is there any shacks to rent that you could sleep three people in overnight?  That would be a great family weekend.

I've been doing a lot of pre ice scouting over the last couple of weeks and we've been pounding them pretty good in that time. Many in the 13-15" range. Here are a couple of 15" fish. The last one is a 16" that my son caught a couple of days ago

I've been using a 1/16 and 1/8 oz jig head tipped with a small shiner. I've also done well with a 1/12 oz Kastmaster tipped with a shiner. Most days they liked the deadsticked rods better than the jigged rods... I'm headed back out in the morning again, can't wait!

Kay I barely know anything about crappie and have only caught a few before but I just got a quick question. How come most of these trophy fish are being eaten? I'd figure it'd be the same thing with walleye ,that you should let the big ones back to reproduce cuz' they have the most eggs and they're not as fresh as the smaller walleye too, wouldn't it? Thanks

If you happen to make it through Columbia, Mo. stop at the Bass Pro. The new world record...caught (here in Callaway County, Missouri) by John Horstman is swimming in the showcase tank. Freakishly huge-monster fish. The photo does not do it justice. I can't remember the nickname they gave it but it is an awesome sight.

I'll second that!!!! :o

If I had a lake that consistently produced those type of monsters, I would take you, but that one was just being in the right place at the right time... god was definitely with me that day.  After she spent a night in the bait shop minnow live well, I let her go... gotta keep those genes going for some other lucky S.O.B... hopefully me, again  ;).  I would be just as happy to have our ice back.

Man I never realized, I was never much of a Crappi fisherman, my friend just got a flasher and we have started.  When I got my 1st (3 in a row) all 17 and 18in  had NO idea what I had as i fish for pike and so an 18in fish was small. This year through the ice, mostly 12 and 13in one just shy of 15.  I guess we have it good here or maybe I just have had some good luck and now that I am trying ... well you get the point

they were a nice feeling, I'm on them now at the same spot, breeders though, they're going back down the hole unless I get one 16 then it's going to be a decoration

Rboot,

Those are beauties.  Congrats. 

Consider a fiberglass replica though when you get your monster.  I once caught one over 17" and put her back.  I am thinking about having a fiberglass reproduction done from photos I took.
