Ok if its going to be left to me ... I will clear the murky water. There is not one thing light about that magnificent crappie. Yes the standard weight of a 17" crappie is ~ 3 lbs but that fish ... is ... in no way, shape, or form at 75 RW. We have to keep in mind that length measurement was taken from the tip of the lower jaw while the fish was hanging under the influence of gravity and its own weight. I think if laid flat, the fish would measure about 15 3/4" which standard weight would be ~2.65 lbs. IMHO the fish is a female that has spawned some of her eggs and so I think the fish to have been very close to standard weight prior to that.
