Some beauties there Matt!.....Glad to see they are back in the water to carry on their genetics....Bet they sure bent that rod!...lol!

I saw your picture, amazing fish. I think I would fall over dead if I tagged an 18" crappie, white or black. I've seen 3 over 16" in my life, and I'm pretty sure I fainted a little when I saw each of them... ;)

Very cool Matt! I just recently released a giant, possible lake record 18 incher. (Photo on this website) Those two male you have there spawners have beautiful markings! Great catch!

Good for you, Matt! Releasing trophy panfish is one of the final frontiers of freshwater angling.
Comment by Matthew J. Breuer on July 1, 2010 at 5:56pm
Jim, we throw 'em back when they're that big. Especially the guarding males... Any crappie over 14.5" goes back, and every 'gill over 9" goes back!

Great fish!!

We call em 'char-broiled' slabs. Clearly spawning males.
Comment by Matthew J. Breuer on July 1, 2010 at 4:31am
We call 'em gun-metal specks...

Excellent crappies! Love it when their cheeks and bellies turn black-chrome!
