asdve23rveavwa Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Holy crappie. He's definitely mastered the hold them out and make them look gigantic hold, but, that is a really nice fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Could be 18...looks more like 15-16 to me. Nice fish none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yikes.. Nice fish. Hopefully I'll get a few half that size this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Holy crappie. He's definitely mastered the hold them out and make them look gigantic hold, but, that is a really nice fish. I followed the link to his FB page and he holds all his fish "out" for the camera. Still a big fish. The angler lives in Nebraska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 that is a nice fish but the hold is a bit silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nice hands...They're huge! Here’s a fact for the guys that straight arm fish towards the camera: Big fish don’t need help looking big...They are big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutdoorDan Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 His fingers would need to be about 1.5" wide for that fish to be 18". It's a nice fish no doubt, but it's not 18". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoty Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Wow, that's a tank! My buddy and I got one out of Scugog last year that was 16" and 2.1 lbs. That thing makes our's look like bait! The 18" and 3 lbs is a pretty accurate guess I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have to wonder how long are his arms.... It's a shame that some do this but I have seen it MANY times here before. Really takes away from how big the actual fish is....like MJL said, big fish need any help looking big. But it's still a very nice looking specimen. My old fishing buddy's father always said...."All Fishermen are LIARS, except You and Me...and I have my doubts about YOU... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 There's nothing at all wrong with the hold on that fish. It's a fish picture folks, meant to highlight a great looking fish.....not the angler nor the surroundings. Heck I don't even see a shiny expensive reel in there, not even a sponsor's logo or decal. It's perfect. But, in keeping with the general path of this thread I could say that I don't like his shirt much. Thanks for posting this great catch.

BillM Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 You could make that fish look like 30lbs if you actually used a UWA lens wide open. Nothing wrong with that pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nice crappie. Every spring and fall a guy from work and myself rent some cottages with a bunch of guys and have a bit of a tournament. Fall of 2010 was just a slow, slow weekend though. The 2nd largest fish caught was a 15.5" crappie, biggest I've seen personally. Funny cause there's rarely any crappie caught there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think this one's bigger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think this one's bigger... The only reason the fish looks big is because you chopped off the guys legs and painted the hut grey. :wallbash: (nice fish) Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Come on guys/girls, that is a nice crappie! Give credit where credit is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Here are some monster crappie with measurements. Huge Slabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abberz Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think this one's bigger... Ive got to agree with Jer on this one. I have many pictures of crappie in the 14-16 inch range that weighed 1.5-2.0 lbs that look bigger than this 3lber in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Here is your evidence of this NOT being 18 inches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutdoorDan Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yep, and the eye of the fish would have to be well over an inch in diameter for it to be even close to that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I just don't understand why people don't post their fishing reports anymore???? :wallbash: If you see a nice fish say "nice fish" if you don't agree on the size do what you normally do in a face to face situation say " nice fish". Why we all have to hack and cut at people who stretch the size or weight on a fish on the internet has cost us to miss out on a lot of wonderful trips thru someone else's eyes. The time and effort to post a report is rewarded with this crap is why you see so few of the fishing adventures I have down here. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
