Congrats on your catch well done.I do wish Alabama would move the size up to 10 inch minimum,I have seen personally 100's of small crappie harvested this past winter in the spring that would barley measure .I know we all love eating crappie but it's the same people day after day,it's like their mission in life is to harvest is many crappie is possible.Myself I average maybe 10 to 15 crappie a trip most times it's under these numbers.I may fish 60 days out of the year I can only imagine the ones that do it 3 to five time a week and catch limits..
Guntersville has been targeted by the guides for sure and the out of state pressure will continue to increase is their resources dwindle because of over harvesting, such is Weiss lake..
