Did he catch record fish and not know it?

You don't want to take any bets Merv on those crappie in Mississippi.....LOL. Grenada, Sardis, and Arkabutla Lake regularly produce 3 pound crappie....two pounders being common.....and unless I am mistaken the minimum length on all 3 lakes is 12 inches. I'll make it there one day...God willing. A 19 inch crappie could easily be 4 pounds or over....I can't even fathom a 22 inch crappie and how much it weighed...but they are out there.
