Caught my biggest crappies of the year!

Did not catch a lot but all between 12-15! I will try to send pics later (some NEED pics) don’t put that boat away yet!

Seems my biggest crappies come in April and November. They often school by year class.

15”!
Now you’re getting serious.
We’ll done Tim

Thanks, fish with an older gent and putting him on big fish is even better than me getting one.

Pics or it didn’t happen!

Ok. Okaay–soon

Badly hooked, little smaller I think than our biggest

Nice fish! Looks like a speckled smallmouth!

Nice job Tim!

That looks like a 13 to me. Not 15.

Still a solid fish though Tim.

Awesome! Love this. Wish I were there.

Yes but it clearly starts at 1 inch instead of 0.

Dam fellas, tim just wanted to share to not put the boat away and share in his enjoyment of the day.

This isn’t a tourney board, this isn’t bragging rights, this is just what fishing is all about, getting out and having a good time.

Nice catch Tim.

After the 11” mark they highlight the 1′ (12 inches) after that mark we see 3 more inches, as worm says 12 plus 3.
will be calling 1-800 Gary soon, or Saul

Dang you guys! The tape does not start at zero! I belong to the political party that cares about facts, so we have to say a thick 14 and some extra, the fin goes past the metal and the lower lip is past the 3. Biggest one caught by Bernie was not measured, I’ll send a pic of that one

It’s irrelevant Tim. Nice crappie.
That tape measure though may be one the more confusing ones I have seen.

Bit bigger

Definitely a jacked up tape measure.

Nice fish Tim.Looks a little like the river bluffs in that picture.

I don’t care what the tape says, that’s a dam nice crappie Tim.
Carry on!!

Should get it mounted…. I see the hills in the background I know exactly where you were. LOL

Got me, Sierra Madre.
Thanks all, okay to kvetch on this site, part of the fun.

Not at all. If you looked closely you’d see a ring at the end of the tape hanging down. With that ring extended and hooked on something, such as a nail head, it measures exactly one inch to the 1″ mark. You must not have much experience in the construction fields, eh?

Those are some dandy crappies regardless of what tape measure was used. Fun to get into them so good work. Even better that you got an older gentleman out!
