Dan, I wouldn't expect to see a decline on the Glen Elder crappie relative weight values. Glen is blessed with an overabundance of food for these fish, and most years we actually have an excess number of shad that either winterkill or carry over to the following year. Another result of reducing the crappie creel limit is leaving a few more mouths out there to work on these shad.

Plus, there will still be plenty of fish harvested throughout the year, even with a daily creel of 20 fish.

Of course, I will keep a close eye on the situation and monitor relative weight values in case they do decline significantly, but I don't expect that to happen.
