I was Henshaw last week and one of the guys that works at the resort said he caught a really, really big crappie...I had been fishing near him the same day...Tony doesn't hear well and I ask him if he had it weighed...He told me yes...So, I ask him how much did it weigh?...He told me without batting an eye...5 lb-2oz...WHAT!....The state record is 4lbs-5oz (pic).........:scream:

With that, I asked if he had taken any pictures...He said Kim who works in the store did...She also helped him weigh it...The picture is very impressive..........:eek:

ps...The fish has since been eaten..........:sob:

His a picture of Tony's fish...It's obviously really big, but 5 lbs...I don't know...I did talk to him and on a digital scale and 2 witnesses...Plus, he said there were better pictures from folks down on the dock.... :blush:

Guys on the fishing dock are still catching them in about 15' of water...Don't think they're on the beach yet...The bass are though...Lots of nests observed..... ;)

Might be the pic but I don't see 5+lbs there. I mean that will all due respect.

Should of got a woman to measure it... they are less prone to misrepresent size lol.
