[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5924596, member: 6230"] its 10/person not 12 according to the article. what a lot of folks dont understand about crappie is that you want to protect those smaller fish. those are the breeder stocks since they will continue to be in the system longer. those larger "trophy" fish that everyone throws back is a dead fish swimming, pretty much end of life at that size. bluegill on the other hand takes 7-10 years to grow a 8-10" bull and people hammer those fish to death with perspective view. once you remove those size fish from the colonies, one of two things will happen, theyll stunt since the smaller fish can become more mature or it will take 5 years before those larger fish are replenished. doug wynnn asked 5 or so years ago, "where have all the bluegill beds gone on ky lake?" well its not the carp, but the old timey notion of keeping the bulls and releasing the piss ants. in my opinion, they cant ban or outlaw it without fear of it ending up in the courts, and that is where it will end up. i predict it wont be long, if folks dont become more conservationist minded, that it will affect the other species that most folks dont keep, ie black bass. once the hole buzzards and pot lickers cant find fish any more then theyll move on to species that is more plentiful and just as easy to catch.
