Everyone should obey all game laws, no matter what they are or if you disagree with them. Having said that, I question the panfish limit regulations on many of our eastern oxbow lakes; why do we have a limit of 50 bream when neighboring states such as TN have no limit on most panfish? The only reason that comes to mind is for bragging rites: you can say you caught a 'limit' of bream. Crappie at Horseshoe are probably the same way. I can't speak for lakes in the northern or western part of the state, though; their situations are prob. different
