I do not keep small crappie the smallest I'll keep if the bit is off is 1 1/4 lb,usually 1 1/2 and better is all I throw in the cooler.The fisherman that keep bream size and fry them whole say its the best you can eat,I perfer mine bonelss.I'm glad they are fisherman around that like the small crappie and keep them thinned out for me....anyway

I have found honey holes were you could fill 3 or 4 coolers with 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lb in less then a days time.Just as fast as you get one off the hook and throw it back in you got another over and over until you cann't close the lid on the cooler,tie it down lol.

Yes I have went back after the next cooler before but have only done it twice b/c cleaning fish for half day isn't to my liking plus not worth getting fined.I'm not going to say he is lying b/c it can be done with nice size 1 1/2 lb and better.We all at some point and time break the law whether it be fishing,hunting,speeding or whatever,sooner or later thu your going get caught if you keep doing it.
