This morning on my way to "work", Ernest Paty calls me and tells me he just caught the biggest crappie he's ever caught on Lewisville. So I say great....send me a picture. Well, here it is folks, all 17" and 3.1# of it. Congratulations Ernest, that's a toad that Bill Muntz should be mounting.

It's kinda blurry and halfway concealed, but whoever makes that jig is fixin' to sell a bunch of them.

Guy.....I bet you could salt and pepper Ernest and pop him in the oven for 45min. and he would still come out with a smile!!!!

WTG Ernest!!! I am a big fan! cheer OMG

One thing I can tell you for sure, is that he has so many waypoints, you would never be able to find that spot UNLESS he told you where it was. Further, given his mastery of a wide assortment of crappie fishing techniques, even if he did give you the exact location, you would just be lucky to catch one that size! hide2

It is FITTING that Ernest caught that fish, as I feel he knows that lake as well as anyone. Plus, he is dedicated to furthering the knowledge, but it helps if you are in the boat watching him! fish hooked

Mr. Skinner, thanks for posting the picture! I have two questions for you...Did he catch it using "The Guy" and did he "challenge" you to beat that? hmmm

I sure hope he let it go. We sure could use more of that gene pool on LL....

Re: He Won't Post it Himself - 03/08/16 01:05 AM

Congratulations Ernest, I guess what they say is True.

If you catch 10,000 of em, one will weigh over 3 pounds.

You definitely deserve to catch a Big One!

Re: He Won't Post it Himself - 03/08/16 01:22 PM

Just for the record, that's Ernest's second 3# crappie. The first was a black that went 3.2# outta Cedar Creek shooting a dock.
Posted By: Retired Fisherman

Re: He Won't Post it Himself - 03/08/16 01:52 PM

A good dedicated crappie fisherman deserves a 3 pounder every once in awhile.
Way to go Ernest and congratulations.
Posted By: Slewfoot

Re: He Won't Post it Himself - 03/08/16 02:54 PM

That would make an awesome mount! 3lb white crappie on a stump with a 3lb black crappie!! Way better than all those big green trashfish mounts people have!!! thumb

Congrats again Mr Paty!!

That is way too awesome Mr. Paty. Of all the people in this world that should catch a three pound fish, it's you. Congrats on a true trophy crappie!
