Bait Details: Trolling a bronze 2-way spinner hook and rather large nightcrawler.
Location Details: When I reeled this fish in I was surprised to find it was a fairly large Black Crappie; I admired it, measured it at 17.5"/2lbs 11oz. and released it. Being on a boat, I opted to leave my cellphone/camera on shore.
It wasn't until later that day when largemouth83 informed me that I had beat the state record Black Crappie in length by half an inch, but fell short on the weight by a measly 2 ounces. 1 ounce would have tied it... 2 ounces would beaten it.
