3 pound
 

Never caught one but this is what a 3 pound crappie looks like..caught on a white lead head jig.

Bill, Although your photo suggests otherwise, I'm guessing that Dogwoods in TX. would be the evergreen species ?? Are they indigenous ??

Tony..don't know the answer to that ouestion..bloom once a year.
Old timers say when the Dogwoods bloom,go Crappie fishing.Something to this..Bill :smiley7:

richard your rite on about the weight of those crappies...in my part of the woods we call them slab crappies...nothing unusal in the spring to catch a limit of these 2 to 3 lbs crappies...im not sure of the record crappie in ,y region but i know it around 5 lb. charlie

Inspired me to adjust my signature line. "Onions and taters" go well with all the wild creatures we have been given to eat on this planet. (Goes just fine with domesticated meat as well, but given a choice....... well I'm sure we know the answer to that).

jack i like your phrase on teaching a man to fish....nice picture of that crappie... charlie
