I know we would all like to see our lakes and rivers be able to produce the giant crappie that are caught in Mississippi but I don't think it will ever happen. The lakes in Mississippi are unique in the way they are situated and managed. They are mostly surrounded by unimproved land and we just don't have much of that around here. I have been to Mississippi many times and crappie fished but I can truthfully tell you I have only brought 1 crappie home from there which I had mounted. I personally have caught many limits of crappie from Alabama waters but they were not the size that they have in Miss. Even when catching a limit I don't usually keep but just a few at a time. I would like to see the state limit on crappie raised to a 10 inch minimum length. I think that would help as much as anything around our area. As far as the creel limit it would not bother me if it were reduced to 20 or 25 per person. The only problem I think with changing anything is the fact that we do not have enough enforcement of the laws we have so I see no benefits of changing anything if you cannot enforce it. There, you have my opinion of this just in case anyone was wondering. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe year in their crappie fishing adventures.
