Possible Alabama State Record Crappie

This is a HUGE Crappie caught by my ex Brother-in-law in Blount County, Alabama. Supposedly weighed 4 lbs. 11 ozs. three hours after it was caught.

It is being verified by a fishery biologist. If accurate, it will be a new Alabama State Record.

I really don't want to bust anybodys bubble here ... but I think we might might be off about a pound ... By looking at the pic's and the finger and thumb size ... "Of the Holdee" ... In my opnion via the pic's It is about 1 plus pound short of 4 pounds .... I hope I am wrong ... <'TK><

TK I agree with you about the picture. I am just going by the info I was given.

Maybe the Crappie is 5 inches wide!!

It doesnt look like 4 but its hard to tell any size from pics I have found.Its still a big crappie.What body of water was it caught on?

After looking at the pic again .... It was taken 04/06/0? .... I think if it was a state record we would know by now ?? But there again .... We are fishermen and you know how big they are especially the one that got away ... LOL !! <'TK><
