I spoke with Sam and Sam the biologists in NEAR a couple years ago. They asked me if I was keeping any bass. I said a few from time to time. They asked me to keep them all because the lake was overpopulated and the bass were staying small because of it. Also, a small pond of just a few acres had some crappie put in it a few years ago. Now at the pond you can catch over a 100 each day and not one will be over 6 inches.
