Angler lands record crappie while ice fishing during Super Bowl

A 35-year-old Iowa angler who took a church youth group ice fishing on Super Bowl Sunday has been awarded a state record for his catch of a nearly 4-pound black crappie. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources announced the catch this week, stating: “Help us congratulate Micaiah Thompson on the 17.8-inch, 3.95-pound record he caught at Lake of Three Fires Lake on Feb. 8!” Thompson’s catch eclipses Iowa’s previous black crappie record by .07 pounds. For comparison, the all-tackle world record for black crappie stands at 5 pounds, 7 ounces. That fish was caught at Tennessee’s Richeison Pond in May 2018. According to Outdoor Life , Thompson and a friend, Dan Ginn, were scattered over a small area with the kids, who were set up for bluegill. Thompson and Ginn were using jigs and minnows in the hope of catching larger walleyes. ALSO: Angler lands massive 244-pound halibut while ice fishing in Quebec The record crappie struck a green jig and minnow after the sun had set. The fight lasted a solid minute on 10-pound-test braided line. “I thought it was a walleye the whole time, even when I got it up into the ice hole” Thompson told Outdoor Life.
