2lb 14 oz crappie --> need help quickly

[Beats]

I just caught a 2lb 14 oz white crappie. It's absolutely massive. It is in my possession and still alive, for the time being. Can anyone tell me how to go about getting it checked out for record status? I'll take some pics and measurements in a few minutes, as my camera was dead when I caught it. From what I can tell this is much bigger than the current record.

Get it weighed on verified scales with witnesses... lots of pics!!!

 

Keep it alive or freeze it if it dies.

 

Congrats on the "Killer Slab"!!!

a call to the MNR might help? I don't think it'll be a record though, i'm pretty sure it's over 5lbs for a white. It could be a local record though, ontario maybe.

 

great catch.

The Canadian record for white crappie is 2.24lbs. as is the Ontario record. Congratulations on a nice catch!

It's likely a Black Crappie.

Your name in the record books... not much more than that.

 

A world record may bring a little more.
