    1:04 -- "MONSTER Crappie" fishing begins with a ferocious 10 incher being 'hoisted' into the boat as the co-conspirator / fishing buddy / narrator declares, "That's probably close to 14 inches long!" Then at 3:44, starting the measurement from above his buddy's thumb (vid showing tape starts about an inch'na quarter above the fish nose), with the business end showing about 13'na half inches at the tail tip, fisherman says, "That right there's over 14 in. long." :o)) Even using our Canadian math, that fish is still just a bit over 12 inches, maybe 32 mm. Couldn't resist it, guys! ;o)) Sometimes we fisherman DO tend to exaggerate just a bit, in the heat of the moment. Great fish, fishing and vid anyway. And you Tennessee USA boys STILL make the best sour mash whisky. George Dickel. Damn near good as fishin. Depending on the weather. Greetings from Sherbrooke, QC.

    That's a good Crappie. The biggest one I've ever I caught was 22 & 7/8", I caught 4 that were over 20", and several that were between 17" and 19" all in the same day. People don't believe you when you tell them you've caught fish that big, but catching is believing.

    You can have fish mounted now without the actual fish (I’m sure y’all know that already ijs) and this video and measurement is all he’s need to get a mount of that crappie. It would be worth having a mount I believe. That’s not a car tag crappie, that’s a European car tag. Lol 😂
