Nope I have never caught one even close to that size. Was that caught locally? Congrats to the angler - that fish is a beast!

Yes...confirmed. I've been sharing it on FB the last couple of days. The final certified weight was 4.9 pounds. Beast !

So, was it released, fried or gonna be mounted?

It don't even look like it can be real. That is a hog!

That's a wall hanger.

 

[Muskrat]

Just guessing but I'm thinking wall hanger also and wasn't released but don't know for sure. This was the first pic I saw of it and shared. Just a crazy large crappie... emoEek.
