That was not the intention of this survey. I was just curious how many crappie anglers harvest in a year. That is all. Just for fun. We utilize creel surveys and exploitation studies to determine how many or what percent of crappie are harvested on a given lake.

I am sure others thought the same thing. That is why 754 people have looked at this and only 28 have responded.

For what it's worth I gave an honest estimate. There have been years when I harvested more than #5 but also years that I've harvested way less (this year for sure). As far as bass harvest, in the mid/late 90s through about 2005 I just about kept 10 every time I went, and I went 2-3 times a week (before kids!). I mostly crappie fish now, but probably keep 50 - 60 smaller bass a year.

Cool question

In the past 12 months and to the best of my figuring I have fished 42 times and brought home right at 1400. That being said it was my best year ever and I always fish with 1 or 2 partners in the boat.
