Biggest Crappie Ever Caught on Camera
by Richard Simms CrappieNOW Editor
Last month we shared information about ice fishing guide Adam Griffith and the YouTube Channel, Crappie Chronicles. The crew specializes in targeting only trophy crappie under the ice, mostly in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The main plot of the series, since its inception, has been to catch the biggest crappie ever caught on film – a crappie at least 18-inches in length, which will typically weigh well over four pounds.
Recently Griffith and partners, Adam Bartusek and Matt Waldron, posted a new video that they said might be one of the biggest crappie ever caught on film.
Check it out here (catch 29:30 into video), and watch the entire video to learn more about how this crew specifically targets trophy fish under the ice, and what they do with it when they catch one.
The IGFA world record black crappie was caught in Tennessee in 2018 by Lionel Ferguson. Ferguson caught the fish, weighing 5-pounds, 7 ounces from a farm pond in East Tennessee. The record fish was 19.25-inches long.
