From the stick:
New personal record for me, and new Bremer Pond record 40" NP.
Don't let the blood bother you, I cut her a bit with the gaff, but she was ready to go when released. Dwight, I believe your scale is shot, much like mine did, it weighs less than right as the batteries go south. The scale weighed it a bit under 13, but the conservative chart at the shop puts a 40" NP over 16 lbs. It sure seemed heavy while I was holding it for the picture.
Yes, it was casught on a #6 red frostee jig, fathead minnow and 4 pound test line.
The fishing was pretty much over after this fish at about 6:30. Too much commotion in the water for the crappie to hang around. We did get nice perch, a bluegill, and about a dozen crappie before this.
