If it's a legal keeper, it will feed us. Have never caught a limit because I couldn't eat one. Prefer fresh over frozen anytime, but will freeze a few if the opportunity
presents itself. If a large female is oozing eggs, she will be returned to the water to spawn.

I release most of what I catch simply because I am stocked up and dont want to clean em. I dont see much point in giving them away every time, JMO. I cant say that I have ever released one just because it was full of eggs. What if I had caught it six months earlier? Either way, it doesnt get to spawn. If you want to keep it, keep it. Its not going to make much of a difference.

The lakes that have real high populations and need thinning I say keep a limit every time you can. I give most of mine to old folks around the neighborhood. I think if we lower the numbers on lakes like Nimrod it will help growth rates.

Lake Washington gets hammered every spring and I don't think anyone throws anything back, and it continues to produce trophy crappie year after year. The down years usually occur after bad weather years when spawning conditions are poor.

This is exactly what I am talking about. Thanks for adding some perspective from a non-Arkansas lake.

D-10 Big fish with eggs Question!!
Here is a simple recipe.
-Preheat oven to 500 degrees
-Pour melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-Place the fillets into the butter
-Sprinkle evenly with lemon pepper and fresh basil.
-Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes.
I have also used OldBay seasoning and Tony Chacharees. This method of cooking works best on large fillets. My wife prefers the lemon pepper and basil.
I also have a killer recipe for crappie cakes (think crab cakes). It got published in the AGFC 100 anniversary Cook Book.
