Heard a rumor that a new state record crappie was caught here recently at Kinkaid Lake. I was told it was 4+ lbs and 18 inches. If I here more, i'll keep you posted.

That's simply not true, I talked to a guy over at Lake of Egypt who told me (with a straight face I might add) that he had caught a 9 pound crappie right off his dock... ;)

Finding ANY crappies in L of E is becoming an impossibility! Does anyone know what the Dept. of Conservation said about the lack of crappies and what they have done or will do about it?

I was teasing, but a guy really did tell me that. I didn't say that I believed him! :cool:

well its true a monster crappie was caught but no the state record is still in tact. my good bud's brother caught it at kinkaid weighed 4.59lbs and was over 19 inches long so close yet so far away from the record. he had it officially weighed and came up short. Great fish though. i have a cell phone pic but its not the best ill post if everyone wants to see the giant. ill post the better pics when i recieve them.

It missed being a record by a couple ounces. It's still a monster!
