Rick’s crappie ties state mark for size

Chris Rick’s catch on Jan. 19 tied a state record for crappie that’s been on the books for nearly 15 years.

The Jamestown angler reeled in a 3-pound, 4-ounce crappie from the Jamestown Reservoir.

The record was established in 1998 by Don Newcomb, a Mandan angler who was fishing Lake Oahe at the time.
