A new record crappie was caught by Eric Ochos. Eric was fishing off the shore in Tuttle Cove with live minnows in 20 feet of water when a crappies took his bait. The crappie was so big he decided to take it to Glory Hole Sports in Angels Camp to have it officially weighed. The fish turned out to be a new lake record weighing in at 3 pounds, 4 ounces.
