Out of curiosity, I looked at the record and was shocked at the low weight. I personally caught many over 3.5 lbs. of course back in the 80’s I was not thinking about records. In fact the outdoor writer for the Dallas morning news went fishing with us the day I had 10 that passed 30 lbs. I lost one that was in the 20” range and one a little bigger we thought. I still have a pic of a 4 lb 3 oz fish caught there. It was not the largest one either. We caught a black crappie in the same range. We didn’t catch many of those. We were wading and using modified outfits.

I'd love to see those pictures,..

What lake was this supposed to have happened on? I've fished a lot further back than the 80's and never caught a lot over 3.5# and certainly never saw 10 that weighed 30# in one day. Would like to see the picture.

Heck of a first post

Sandbass maybe???

I saw a 20inch fish caught there on an 10XD. Posted pics of it at the time and everyone gave me sh** saying no way it was over 16.

I dont think they know how big an 10XD is. The bait was in the fishes mouth in the photo. My buddy who caught it had pics of it on a yard stick. My pics of are just of him holding it. B

But yeah... I believe there are some giant crappies in there. They dont act like other crappie so we dont run into them much. Example the fish I am talking about was caught trolling that crankbait through schools of hybrids. Go figure.

Sir….

Wow...I've fished Lewisville for crappie for 25+ years, and have caught some 2#+ fish, but never anything like what you're describing. I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I certainly would be very interested in seeing some sort of proof. Because if there are a large population of 3# crappie in Lewisville, you can bet I'll spend the next year trying to find them.

I know that 3lb plus fish existed in Lewisville before they raised the pool level and introduced Hybrids. I caught 2 in 1day wade fishing the willows in Golf Course Cove. I also caught a 3.75 lb Out of Grapevine that same year before they dropped the Hybrids in Grapevine destroyed the fishery for 10 years. But 10 that goes 30lbs Must have been a school of a lifetime.

On today's episode of things that never happened! LOL
