I do not think the eating quality of a crappie is determined by size I love all of them.
agree 100% and I could go either way on this. I would like to see the size get better but I also don't mind eating a 9 inch fish bc the smaller fillets fry better IMO. I have noticed the past few years that the size at LOZ has gotten a lot better but IDK why. I remember, i think, around 2011 to 2012 the size was not good for me. With everything being said the size at the LOZ is not bad at all, just look at what it takes to win a Crappie Masters.
