Good job putting it out there Harold. Everyone should be nice to everyone especially since this is a friendly forum. Respect others choices about fishing and do what makes you happy regarding keeping or returning caught fish. As mentioned before, Some of the other states don't have all the activities that Florida offers. Being born and raised there, I was involved in different activities but fresh water and speck fishing is what stuck with me. I have really learned a lot since I joined CDC and FCC. Thanks to all for the informative posts... they really do help. I think the Florida forum and FCC should invest in our future and have a youth division to either fish with us or have youth tournaments or both. We need to share this love and knowledge of crappie fishing with the next generation. Just my thoughts.
