Now that would have been a "fight" to get on video!

You have got to love seeing a youngster do that, with his Dad and Uncle present. Moments like that are few and far between. I hope the boy got a picture with them all three together.

Sad thing is, now everyone and their brother will be on that little small lake.

The biggest crappie I have ever seen in person was 19" long and weighed by the Mo Dept of Conservation at 4lbs 2oz.

Congrats to the boy on a fantastic crappie!!!!!!! That picture of the boy with the crappie isn't a 5 lb. crappie though. Must of not had a good picture of the beast. I've been chasing crappie for 35 years, 20 years hardcore, and my biggest is 3.56 lbs, 18 3/4". I'm jealous to say the least!!!!!!! God bless.

I agree.  But I didn't want to rain on the parade.  That 4lb 2oz crappie I witnessed yrs ago in the early 90's would make that one look small.  It was as wide as a 5 gal bucket and 19" long.  A 5lb crappie would have to be right at 20" in length.
