Thread: How Many do you ketch ?

LOL....at least a million.....give or take a million

I catch at least 100 every day I go. unless I have any witnesses.

Boy! You guys must have it figured out. I'm not new to fishin but have been trying to target crappie since last year and aquiring a boat. I fish a 9000 acre lake that has good size crappie but have probably caught 100 dinks from some smaller lakes. Really struggling at the bigger lake. This morning throwing a bandit 300 and a pink/chartreuse roadrunner found several and ended up with only 2 keeper crappie along with the stray catfish and small mouth.
I was happy! At least getting on a few crappie at this lake. I dont care about keeping that many really but sure will be happy when I can catch and release a limit anytime I wanted! I better boat would probably help but I'll have to figure it out with what I got!
I enjoy reading the comments and sure have learned a lot from this site.
Happy fishing !

You fellers count urs, I weigh mine.

Maybe i should go by length??
I've caught 500 inchers of crappie this year!

Well, I've caught over at least a 1000 so far this year, kept 300 mostly 10.5 to 15" as we eat crappies twice a week and when famliy is over. Still fishing so I don't count, but we can keep 25 a day in Indiana so right now it only takes me 3-4 hrs to keep a limit if I am on my game.

I don't fish as much as I would like, but I go about 25 times a year I would guess, and probably average 20 each time I go. So that's about 500 in a year. I only keep them when someone is with me that wants some, or if I want to cook them that night. I usually pick out about 7 of the biggest ones to keep. That seems about right for my family. I have nothing against people keeping a limit, I just don't like cleaning them every time. The lake I fish used to have way too many in it and you could catch 100, but they would be 9". A few years ago, the water was lowered down so that only the original creek bed was left so they could work on the dam. It stayed that way over a year. Most of the fish washed through the dam I think. Now, the fishing is much better in my mind. I don't catch as many, but the average has gone up to about 11" and several will be 14"+. I think its good for the lake to keep some of the fish to keep them from getting over populated.

some folks go more often than others so i imagine the numbers are not really important anyway . and for sure there are some days that one or 2 makes me happy .
heck there are days i want to just land one ! ....sometimes these fish are difficult to obtain in ones hand dont ya know .....
