Everyone wants to catch a big fish, however there are lots of factors that enter into size limitations and setting limits. If it is done wrong, it can completely ruin a lake. I have seen that happen locally when a lake about 40 miles from here set a size limit at 10 inches. This caused overpopulation of small fish and stunted the growth. Now, the size limit has been off for years, but it is rare to catch a crappie over 7 or 8 inches and most run about 6 1/2 inches and are paper thin. Biologists need to do studies and sampling to determine if the lake can support such regulation. There are few lakes that can match the big four in Mississippi in size and numbers. When you go to their board and see the reports, it can make us all a bit envious, however what they've done there will not work everywhere. Hope a solution is found that makes Talquin a great fishery for you all.
