re: Trophy Sac-a-Lait Size

Not black species though. Hammer none the less.

remember seeing one mounted at a restaurant around Toledo bend that was 4 lbs.

That would be something. BTW, the La. record for both black at white is right at 3.8.

I would call it black before calling it white, but I’m no crappie specialist.

Trophy as in records, no.
Trophy as in bigger than most people in here have caught, yes. He might not ever catch one that size again, unless he goes after them in the lakes known for Crappie.

Wish I could find a mess of some that size right now. A good Sac-a-Lait bite is hard to beat when the big ones are doing it.

We were there last week watching the pro's but also got some fishing in. Got on a mess of 'em and caught several pound and three quarters. Biggest was 2.1lbs, right at 16" and to me that was a trophy. I'd never caught them that big. Agree that it depends on the lake but also the fisherman.

It was easily my biggest but for Toledo, that's fairly average.

I’ve seen a huge mount somewhere too but don’t remember the weight or where. I was informed later in life that a few taxidermist in Louisiana will mount a triple tail and paint it as a sacalait. Tomfoolery got me again!

Kinda looks like a white to me but solid fish non the less. May be hard pressed to beat that for a long time. Over 2 1/2 is a sure enough hammer in my book

That's a really nice white sacalait. That should definitely be a trophy to him. I caught one last year just over 16" that is my PB. Was over 2, but not 3 pounds. Still a trophy to me.
