Maybe not but they sure do float alot of them the day after a Crappie Master Tour. Pual and the guys do a bang up job to keep the fish alive but there is still alot of dead ones floating the next day. They should just let people keep them or donate them to a good cuase.JMO
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.
