Huge Crappie

[jig-em]

Has anyone looked at today's Minneapolis Star Tribune and seen the huge Crappie caught on White Bear Lake? The photo is excellent! I think all of us can appreciate the quality of one that size.

Nice fish!
It's easy to figure out which house to fish next too!

[Ole1855]

The guy didn't name the lake, he said it was a metro area lake, the reason White Bear Lake was mentioned is that's where the guy is from. Although I guess it could still be from WBL. and he just didn't want to say that.

I'm sorry, fellow FM's. I guess I just got so excited seeing a Crappie that large that I glanced at the article and saw WBL.

Awesome fish!!
I've even fished out of that house, friend of a friend.
And its not WBL if he is in the same spot he was for the past couple of years.

Holy Hannah!!Nice papermouth!!

[spasticcp]

Actually it's all about perspective, this guy is really only 2 1/2 feet tall, so really, the crappie isn't all that big.

All kidding aside, very nice slab!

I think I've seen it before. Does the license on the house say 01?

[bigbucks]

I've seen it before, but I think it was last year. The house clearly shows licenses for 01-03. I suppose 04 could be there maybe behind his head, but it doesn't really look like it.

hollywood_pete - how do we get into the link if it doesn't exist on the startribune server

Nice job getting us all riled up about a 3lb papermouth....I'm hoping to ice one of those bad boyz on Tonka Saturday!!!

[BDR]

The link is a year old. I believe the pic is the one Renneberg posted. Beauty fish!

If anyone is still up go to the trib homepage right now and click on that picture of "Bob" the 23 point buck (next to the story about relocating the deer). Does that picture looked edited? Something looks fishy in that pic if you ask me, but it is 12:30 so who knows

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Looks like the one in Matt Johnson's avatar. Both very nice fish.

[Renneberg]

Look at the date on that post. It says I posted it 2/19/04. Man you dug deep for that one!
