Used to see unreal numbers of tiny fish 4 to 8'' and now plenty 10 to 11'' . I refuse to release all the big fish with next 10 boats are taking them . Kinda like Deer hunting . You pass a small 6 point and it goes to next stand and boom . I have seen all kinds of population / average size swings on Nimrod in 50 years . Just wonder if a slot with everything 14 to 15'' released and maybe one over would work ? Doubt your average fishermen would go for this . AGFC say they want to see people catch fish but this is going to be interesting how they deal with this or just sit and watch . From some fishermen I have heard from even some at the big Crappie lakes in other states are beginning to be concerned too .
Duh! Who would care if we have fish for our future? I care and I care a lot but feel there is nothing I can do about it.
