MoCarp Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Quote "Jam Ferguson of East Tn with his 5lb 4.6oz new Tennessee State Record Black Crappie and now pending World Record black Crappie (Pending IFGA visit and verification). Fish was weighed on TN Toad scales last night. Scales were certified and weighed in again today by TWRA. Jam caught the new record in a pond in Philadelphia Tn on a John Deere Green Grub. Volunteer Outdoor Co. presented Jam a Huk Fishing shirt to congratulate him on his catch." NOW thats a Crappie Daryk Campbell Sr, Johnsfolly and ollie 3 MONKEYS? what monkeys?
Johnsfolly Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Pretty amazing crappie. Wonder if they ate it. The handling of that fish for the photos likely prevented a successful release. I used to go to the Columbia BPS just to see Pat the current (previous) world record black crappie. It was an amazing fish to watch swimming in their tank. Only lasted a couple of years in captivity. I suspect that the constant "low" temps that they keep that tank may have contributed to her demise. Or a fish that big was pretty old to begin with and maybe she just met her natural end.

Flysmallie Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Quote Pending IFGA visit and verification I think any time you see this you know it wasn't released. Or even eaten.
