Caught this crappie yesterday on a white mini strike king spinner bait. Didn't have something to measure it with, but I got a nice picture. I would say it's about 10 inches or so.

A "big" crappie for me here in UT is 14". A "HOG" is 16" and 2" wide. A nice one is 11".

I guess crappie dont get as big where you live. That thing is quite tiny. Here in tx a crappie has to be 10" before you can even keep it.

Here is a picture of one I caught a couple months ago

Yeah, I've never seen a crappie that big up here. You guys are lucky. They don't seem to get that big; wherever I've gone at least.

Thats a pretty nice one. It is amazing at how differently they grow in different parts of the country.

I think it has just as much to do with the individual body of water and how you fish. I've caught plenty of 12" plus crappies here in Idaho. I've even seen a few caught over two pounds.

lol, all crappie are nice, some are just nicer than others...[cool]

I have caught my share of 15's and even some 17's...

any thing from 9 inches and up is good, there's not much to chew on below 9 inches..

I have caught a few nice 1/2 inchers... too, [:p] We get a kick out of em and put them back in to the water as soon as we can...
