I thank you yankee doodler. I found it quite interesting and I was anxious to share the information with everyone. Good luck to you.

Really interesting article and adds some (much needed) perspective and insight into varying crappie populations over the years.
The catfisherman in our area are having stickers made that says "We release trophy class fish" to put on their vehicles and raise awareness.
We might do the same to spread the word about releasing 2 lb plus crappie. As your article mentions, anything above two pounds around here is a good fish.I CPR (Catch Photo Release) all fish above 2 pounds.

great article.

Thanks for the response TexExp. I am glad you enjoyed the article and that it provided you some insight and perspective about the cyclical nature
of crappie populations over time. I think any ideas that promote awareness to the public for what we do as fishermen to conserve and care about
our natural resources and our love for the sport is a great thing. I practice CPR myself and don't have a bit of problem with it.
Good luck to you.

Appreciate it brother.

Hey let all enjoy catching more than keeping and the fishing should improve on all lakes. Catching a limit should never be the goal of a fishing outing.

I agree 100% that the outing the catching and the fellowship is the most important part of fishing anyway. We should all enjoy and conserve our resources.
If everyone would feel that way... everything else would take care of itself. Good luck to you.
