How often do you catch giant crappies? We're talking 2 ½ pounds, 3, and bigger.

Spring is almost here. Stockyards of crappies will soon begin staging for a move to spawning grounds. Then the stampede begins! Now is the perfect time to plan a trip to these killer trophy destinations!

Mississippi Queen
Like the classic rock 'n' roll anthem Mississippi Queen, the Magnolia State's Lake Grenada rocks hot and heavy! Two-pound fish are run-of-the-mill and 3-pound-plus fish are common. Mid-February through late-May packs the biggest punch! Check out guided crappie trips on Lake Grenada!

Razorback Slabs
Just spittin' distance from Texarkana, Arkansas' Millwood Reservoir is a slab factory. This old river system is chock full o' cypress knees and brush piles—perfect crappie habitat. Tournament pros routinely bring in 7 fish between 15 and 20 pounds! Rock on Razorbacks!

Whole Lotta Rosie
The pro scuttlebutt is that Arizona's Lake Roosevelt (called "Rosey" by locals) is the place for gigantic slabs. These crappies look like they've been eatin' biscuits and gravy! While info is guarded, the Arizona Crappie Association is a good place to start. Get the hook up with The Hook Up Outfitters! Whole Lotta Rosie!
