That's a big crappie for sure and on a jitterbug?? I've caught a few on topwater but they're usually small ones. Nice fish!

18 inches is a huge crappie, i got one over 20 inches a few years back at smith mountain lake

Nice fish

Wow, nice crappie for sure! I was nailing them on topwaters last year like crazy, but none that big. WTG!

pinch the tail and close the mouth and youve got a 20" official measurement crappie

Had to be well over 2 lbs.! Contrats!

Great crappie. I'd tell you my biggest but it would be too embarrassing.

Potential state record for length? Official NH state record says 17.25 inches:

I caught my first a few weeks ago on a Storm Hopper Popper at night on Ultralight. They really seem to like topwaters! But on a full sized Jitterbug??? WOW!

Sent the pics in to the state. They just sent me a Trophy Fish Patch and certificate.

They told me i should have kept it to get it certified. Close to if not a state record.

I did not have a digital scale, not a certified one. Definatly was longer , weight was a question. They sent my son a patch also. He caught one at Turtle pond a few weeks before mine that was 17 1/2" and 2 1/2 lbs We sent in his pics with info. Pretty cool for him.

That's awesome! Your son must have been pretty excited. Congrats to both of you.

So where's the picture of the crappie that's over 20"? Hard to believe without a picture with a tape measure.

I caught 2 crappie in 1967 in Kansas that were 21". Largest ones I have ever seen alive.

Congrats on the nice slab!
