I think there are a lot more people fishing since Covid and they are keeping what they catch. Saw a guy with two 6" crappie in his basket as he was leaving, wouldn't have even made a sandwich. You aren't too far from Lake Havasu that has lots of big sunfish. I fished there in 2015 and caught several redear pushing 2lbs. from one of the docks there. Great place to fish if you have a couple days off.
