I agree with you BRM, however I am not in it for world class fish, I am in it for table fare, all of those fish are 11" or better, the picture is kinda decieving. I also release 95% of all the fish over 13" that I catch. They are not as good eating as the 11" to 13" crappie. I have caught lots of crappie over 3lbs. They don't excite me to much cause I know I am going to release them, If people fished for only world class fish, and then they fillet them, then all that is happening, is now your brood stock has become the target size fish to eat, that has no benifit, the argument has two sides just like any coin, for what I want fish for the size I keep is best, however what I do by releasing the big fish helps the trophy fisherman out. The big ones are fun to catch don't get me wrong, but they are also fun to release, the mid sized crappie are fun to eat, that's the fun I am talking about.
