Monster Crappie
#245421 - 05/10/06 02:12 PM

Found this on ESPN Outdoors...

John Horstman's crappie, a massive, 5-pound black crappie is apparently on its way to the International Game Fish Association record book, as well as to some fancy new digs as part of an outdoor gear mega-retailer's aquatic display.

John Horstman, 69, of rural Fulton, Mo., landed the big slab while fishing with minnows April 21 at a private lake near his home.

The 19-inch crappie officially weighed 5.02 pounds on a Missouri Department of Conservation scale in Jefferson City. The state record for a black crappie is 4.5 pounds. The all-tackle record IGFA also is 4.5 pounds and is held by two fish and anglers.

Horstman's fish has been kept alive and is under quarantine. It is planned to be part of a permanent display in an aquarium at Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World in Springfield, Mo.
