What was the water temp?
Any one know when the last crappie caught over 3.50 was caught in Texas?
State Records on both the Black and White Crappie are both over 3.50. The Black was caught on Fork back in 2003 and the White was caught on Navarro Mills in 1968. Just glancing at the records a Granger Lake Record White Crappie that weighs 3.50 was caught in February 2016. I am sure there are more!

Re: 3.55 pounds, New Lake Fork Record? - 02/05/18 10:25 PM
Very little has been said about Kirk positioning the boat, manning the electronics, gauging water temperature, calculating actual fish depth and assisting in boating the fish! Then maintaining dissolved O2 levels to keep the bull crappie in perfect health!
Thanks Kirk!

Dang Leanin Post and I though you were just a grumpy old man. You can say something nice.
Don't think I will ever forget seeing that fish on the graph, tossing the marker, circling back to it, calling drop right here, watching Craig put on a show with the pole bent double, netting the fish, heck the rest is history!
Craig can flat out catch them. Proud for him.

I've crappie fished with Kirk a few times and Craig in Alaska. Believe me, both those guys can flat out fish and they both love it. They will wear your hiney out trying to keep up with them.
Congrats to both of you.
