Thanks for the reasoning. It's nice to know we have people on this board who are knowledgeable and have something to offer others. Don't let the attitudes of a few sour your day. Besides, I have always been told it does no good to argue with stupidity because stupidity doesn't know the difference between right and wrong anyways.

I take everything on here with a grain of salt. There is no need to get PO'ed because of what someone says. I know he was playing.

Sorry if I ruined your post JW

Seems like I been doing that lately to others on other boards also.

Here is an example of crappie growth from Lake Conway. Age is expressed as X+. Since we sample in the Fall/Winter and crappie are born in the Spring, all of our ages are half years. You will notice that black and white crappie have different growth patterns. It doesn't take white crappie as much time to reach a given length. However, a 12 inch black crappie will be thicker (heavier) than a 12 inch white crappie. This is just an example of growth. Lake Conway crappie exhibit a fast graowth rate compared to other systems. Unfortunatly I do not have any data for crappie growth outside of my district.

	Mean Length at Age (inches)
Age	Black Crappie	White Crappie
0+	3.3	3.3
1+	6.2	8.6
2+	8.6	11.4
3+	11.1	13.9
4+	11.8	13.7
5+	13.6	15.1

I am not smart enough to read this.

**arkcrappie** · 04-01-2013, 03:07 PM

Interesting. Kind of like deer. They don't get to their growth potential until age 5.

**D10** · 04-01-2013, 03:12 PM

The table did not copy and paste well. Basically a one and half year old black crappie from Lake Conway is 6.2 inches long and a one and a half year old white crappie is 8.6 iches long, on average. White crappie have faster growth rates than balck crappie. It takes a black crappie an extra year (2+) to reach the same length (8.6 iches) as a 1+ white crappie.
