    not too big if you believe the growth rates stated by biologist. I think they grow faster than that though but they should know.

    Black crappies mature at 2–4 years. Growth during the first four years of their life is faster in the warm waters of the southern part of its range than in cooler waters in the north. White crappie have a higher growth rate in terms of length than black crappie.[2] Most fish that are caught for sport are between 2 and 5 years old.

    Crappie Life Cycle - In warmer waters, crappie may grow three to five inches long during their first year. They can be seven to eight inches long at the end of the second year. They are mature in two to three years

    From time to time someone will find a sweet spot and catch a limit. I'm thinking there will be a lot of 7 to 10 fish days this year. Catching 50 to 100 and keeping 7 to 10. Two years from now will be like it was two years ago. A gold mine. I hope I'm wrong.

    I thought they hatched out at 2 pounds at Grenada!
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The sheep live in fear of the wolf but in the end it's the shepherd that eats them.
