This 2 pound 7 ounce crappie measured 17.5 inches long. Caught out of the Indian Creek branch of Mark Twain Lake using a jig with a black head, yellow body, and white tail. This made Lon the winner of Part I of the Big Fish Challenge which ended June 15th.
As of 2008/06/15 this is the third largest crappie weighed in our big fish challenge. The largest being 2 pounds, 11 ounces, and the second largest weighing in at 2 pounds, 8 ounces.

Phil is pictured below with a 70 lb flathead. He used a gold fish to bring in this catch.
