3-Pound Slab Breaks Lake Hartwell Crappie Record
By GON Staff on March 8, 2022
A Lake Hartwell black crappie just broke a record that has stood for almost 25 years. Jimmy Burns, of Fair Play, S.C., was fishing off a dock on March 2 with his friend Neal Boggs when he caught the new record slab. The black crappie was certified at 3-lbs., 1.76-ozs.
On certified digital scales at the Food Lion in Pendleton, S.C., Jimmy’s crappie weighed 3.11 pounds, which converts to 3-lbs., 1.76-ozs. The previous black crappie record for Lake Hartwell was a 2-lb., 14-oz. fish caught May 5, 1996 by Rebecca Crittendon. The white crappie record for Hartwell is a 4-lb., 4-oz. slab caught by Charles McCullough in 1968 not long after Hartwell was impounded.
South Carolina fisheries biologist William Wood confirmed the species of Jimmy’s fish as a black crappie. The definitive way to tell a black crappie from a white is to look at the dorsal fin, which runs across the top of the fish and has webbed spines with a soft fan connecting them. White crappie have five to six spines, while black crappie have seven to eight spines.
