Whereever that is must have a generous limit.
Greed is the problem; people just want to blame FFS because it makes it easier to target only the big fish and find large schools of fish that want to bite easier.
I believe this is a biologist doing a survey. There's not a fishing rod in that boat.

In NC we have a no size/creel limit except for certain lakes like Jordan which is a 25 limit I believe. Still doesn't mean every fish should be kept imo.
Correction, Jordan is now a 8 inch minimum with 20 in combination

The Hoop net Commercial Catfishing Guys here scoop the catch out of the nets into a picking box like one for shrimping but bigger. I watched one in the Pearl River empty his net for 10 minutes while we talked. Didn't see him throw any fish back and I could see Crappie & Bass in his dip net. I'm not saying he didn't release the by-catch, he may have culled while running to the next net. Dono. I do know that the handling of the sportfish in that manner increases the mortality of the by-catch.
CrappiePappy I'm glad you caught the full post. Hate to think someone was using a Hoop Net intentionally to catch Crappie.
