4 pounds 10 ounces. We get some big damned crappies up here...

I'm not sure how much the ones I catch weigh, but they aren't that thick. I
can't imagine there's a lot of food for them in the winter - these are all
long and thin, like somebody stretched them out. I wonder what that 4.6
pounder looked like. I caught one at Lake Mattawa a couple of years ago
that probably went 3 pounds and it was freakishly huge.
