1:04 -- "MONSTER Crappie" fishing begins with a ferocious 10 incher being 'hoisted' into the boat as the co-conspirator / fishing buddy / narrator declares, "That's probably close to 14 inches long!"
Then at 3:44, starting the measurement from above his buddy's thumb (vid showing tape starts about an inch'na quarter above the fish nose), with the business end showing about 13'na half inches at the tail tip, fisherman says, "That right there's over 14 in. long." :o)) Even using our Canadian math, that fish is still just a bit over 12 inches, maybe 32 mm.
Couldn't resist it, guys! ;o)) Sometimes we fisherman DO tend to exaggerate just a bit, in the heat of the moment. Great fish, fishing and vid anyway. And you Tennessee USA boys STILL make the best sour mash whisky. George Dickel. Damn near good as fishin. Depending on the weather. Greetings from Sherbrooke, QC.

I’ve seen a 17 1/2 inch crappie once 6 years ago. Caught on a blue/white crappie thunder jig and a white jig head by roadrunner. Summertime marina fishing. Got that bite on one of those poles that anchor marina in place. What a day!

About 20 years ago on Lake Jovita in St. Leo fl. A woman caught a 5 pound 9 ounce crappie on a cane pole.

That's a good Crappie. The biggest one I've ever I caught was 22 & 7/8", I caught 4 that were over 20", and several that were between 17" and 19" all in the same day. People don't believe you when you tell them you've caught fish that big, but catching is believing.

At a starting price of $1000, they better be a good bait bucket.

[@gsxroyce256]

You can have fish mounted now without the actual fish (I’m sure y’all know that already ijs) and this video and measurement is all he’s need to get a mount of that crappie. It would be worth having a mount I believe. That’s not a car tag crappie, that’s a European car tag. Lol 😂

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

He’s is going to get him a replica of the fish made
May not never get to meet another big crappie like that 😀🎣

I agree
Thanks for watching 🎣

[@gsxroyce256]

I have a hard time cathing bait that I can’t see / not at the top. I’ve got to invest in a live scope bc I’d rather fish with live bait than anything.

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

It’s really hard constantly to catch bait without a live scope. You will enjoy having one 🎣

[@GuntersvilleLakeFishing]

Guntersville is producing some hogs this year, ive seen a 3lb 8oz and 2 just over 3lbs come out of gville in the last month from the bank!

There’s huge crappie to be caught in Guntersville for sure 🎣
I appreciate your comment

[@oneg1970]

I can’t reach the 17” mark. I’ve caught 3-16.5” white crappies. But I can’t get over that hump.

That one 17 “ crappie in the video is the only one I’ve ever seen

[@richardreyes1975]

Love this guys videos I’m from California or 50 miles away from Anaheim stadium. I live in the high desert other than camping fishing and flying my pigeons and shooting my guns. I love to fish. Too bad in California you can’t use live bait to fish.

What size cast net do you use? Diameter and mesh size, Im gonna give it a try.,Thanks

I’ve got different size nets that I use depending on the size of the bait and how deep. This video I was using a 7ft 3/8 mesh. Got it at Academy

[@robertlosasso4222]

I know your enjoying yourselves and catching nice fish . Personally I don’t think it’s necessary to net those fish . I wouldn’t care if he came off . I used to lift ten and fifteen pound stripers in the boat, I didn’t care if they came off the hook or the hook pulled out .

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

I can understand exactly how you feel.

[@tomvanleeuwen3914]

Why no measuring board? Loose tape does not give true measurement…..

Tom thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment 😀
You absolutely right,It’s not a true measurement. I need to get me a measuring board for sure 🎣🎣
