If you don't mind the price tag, a 15" crappie is a bragging piece amongst anglers anywhere but especially in Utah. I've caught some in the 3.5 lb. and 17 inch class but not in this state. My personal best in UT was around 13.5 inches from East Canyon three years back. I say if you can afford the proof to go with the story then make it a memory worth the proof. You might check around with Bass Pro shops or Cabelas and see if they can use a picture with length and girth measurements and do a replica for less then the local taxidermists. I'm kinda iffy about whether or not it is available because I have never done it myself but I have heard tell from a few fishermen that it is possible.
