After years of trying, and coming close, I finally got my 1st 3lb crappie! Had a 2-14 Monday, and this one Tuesday that went 3lb 6oz. JB Thomas. The smaller males are shallow and most of the big females are still staged at 7'-10' and moving in and out of the shallows. This fish was only 16" long, but a PIG! The fish next to it weighed 2lbs 4oz for comparison. I had just checked and calibrated my scales after weighing the 2-14 the day before. As in another post, Brian....AKA BKG caught one over 3 the same day. It's not easy pickings, as the fish are scattered on rocks, and you just have to keep looking.

WOW thats great! Those big ones are a blast to catch, I was on Chambers a few years back and boated a couple of 3# (on back to back cast). I caught them on a 4" black neon Denny Brauer flipping tube on accident
