my personal best was 18 1/4" and weighed 3# 8 oz. the Ne state record is at 4# 11 oz last i knew, dont know the length. saw one years ago that a catfisherman caught on a trot line that tipped my hand scale at an even 5#. It was folded into the bottom of the 5 gal. bucket and the tail hung over the top and over the edge. "significantly"! In our state by the guide that the state gives us a 15" crappie weighs approximately 2#s which is the master angler cut off line. If you got one over that you better find you\r secret stash and seriously think about who your fav taxidermist is.
