15 3/4 Inch Monster Crappie
The water surface temperature on Sunday morning 03/07/10 had cooled down to 48 degrees in many of the shallow areas holding crappie the day before and many of the crappie in the shallows retreated to deeper water. There were still good catches on the morning bite in shallow water, just much slower than on Saturday.
Wayne Tewksbury didn’t get the word on the water surface temp or the fish being in shallow water and he went to one of his favorite spots in water 15-18 feet deep. He caught close to a limit of crappie and had nice slabs, the biggest being 15 3/4 inches and the other just slightly over 15 inches. Sometimes it pays not to get the word.

I think this fish looks bigger than the other one. I guess if you measured both fish, it is just the picture. This fish Wayne is holding is HUGE. I fish for crappie off my dock and sometimes catch one; but, not very often. Never seen one this huge. Way to go Wayne!!!!
I have to admit, it does look bigger in the picture; but, I measured both fish. I also took the pictures. I guess I need to work on my picture taking skills. Papa John
I love to fish for Crappie and Wow that is a nice one! I would love to fry that one up! Yum! I could sit for hours with a bucket of minnows and fish off the dock. Truman Lake in Missouri is a great place to catch some nice Crappie. Nice One!
