Crappie Scott Bailey- As mentioned at the end of my original post, this WAS my impression(size regulated fish). More facts include: Lake Monroe is Very uncrowded with boat traffic/anglers during weekday Summertime(low harvest) HEAT. Officer was alone and possibly new to agency. During the tedious 25 minute wait for verdict(thankfully no kneel mode), he was on radio contact with his "HELP what do I do now?" mode. I informed him from the beginning of my size-regulated mindset but to no avail. I feel that he was looking for peacock "plumage" to hopefully add to his "newbie" portfolio. Thanks for your attention/response to a bonafide "situation" that could affect any C.com members. That stated, feel free to pm me for with possible help/info on Monroe although because of distance is lower on my Go to places. Futuristically, the more you initiate/respond to member's posts, the higher chance of "tips". Easily illustrated by the HERE HERE from SLAB=Big Kahuna
