Old hickory lake record crappie....possibly

[skillet]

Sooooo, I possibly caught the lake record white crappie and didn’t realize it. We went Saturday shooting docks with jigs. Didn’t catch a whole lot but did catch a few. Had 3 keepers all day, ton of big bluegill and a few small bass. BUT, the highlight of the day was a 16” 2.2lb crappie. Weighed it on a non certified scale, but it is known to NOT give heavy weights. It came off of a dock in 12-14 fow on a Bobby Garland monkey milk colored jig. All I can say is it was a beast and released for someone else to claim the lake record. 😡🤬🤯🤨

Well Skillet the morning I met you at Rockland when I bought Deezeltek’s David Fritz crankin rod I knew you were destined for greatness!

I need the exact location to verify your catch.

Notice how he had to hold it out toward the camera just to make it look like a legal length fish?

[FishAddict]

Isn't that a black crappie???

After reading this, I had to research it. Best way to tell is that black Crappie have 7-8 dorsal fin spines. I counted 7 in the picture. So yes, you are right I was wrong. Thanks for busting my bubble!!! 😕

Here is one that was caught on JPP ... http://www.fishingtn.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3855&d=1377224354
.... But it is a small fry compared to five crappie that I caught up stream from Sligo on Center Hill that weighed in at 10.3 pounds .. a few years ago ... I'll try to find the post. One of the Crappie was 2 inches thick through the back... <'TK>< :)

dam nice fish man good for you to let it live on and hopefuly get bigger havent been since that last time out on any of the lakes around us see your still putting them in the boat best of luck Massman

White crappie have vertical darker bars on them, and black crappie are just speckled up. You will be able to ID them pretty quickly the more you catch.
Blacks tend to fight a little better than the whites. Thanks for at bringing up the lake record topic, I feel sure I have released a lake record drum. It would not surprise me if the lake record white crapppie has not been eaten. I'm now aware of the record if I catch one close to it.
