how big is this fish?

Any guesses?

1.5# or very close.

Plus #1.

1.35

Fish looks to be a little on the skinny side; big head. Can't tell how thick. Empty stomach.
Maybe 1.2 lbs.

that crappie is way older than it is big. Has the head of a much larger crappie.

3.5 lbs if it's an ounce . . . . .

It's shore got a big ole mouth. I'd venture to guess it may weigh in at 1.27 lb on a digital scale.

10.5" maybe .88 oz...

Looks like a 10.5" 1.0lbs fish with the mouth a 16" 2.5 lbs fish.

Exactly 14". Yes, it is (was) an old crappie, thick shoulders, but somewhat thin in other places. I caught her on Dec 31. In hindsight I should've probably let her go, but I haven't crappie fished for a long time, so my greedy side won.

No good scales at home, can't tell her weight. I'd say 1.8lb. This is white crappie, black ones are bulkier when they reach this size.

I'm gonna say 1.1-1.2

It's your story! Make it a good one!!! I would say at least 3 or 4 pounds!!!

Yep

Just as TPWD publishes a weight predictor based on the length of a largemouth bass, these weights based on sampling thousands of fish, so too is there a weight predictor for crappie.

Here are predictors for both whites and blacks . . . down toward the bottom of the article.

Damn science... :-)
