Not trying to add fuel to the fire but it's my understanding that you should keep the female crappie during the spawn since it's the males that stay on the nest and protect it.....sounds like WOMENS LIB in the fishing world and as far as the walleye spawn it is so hard for me to catch one that if I'm lucky enough to pull one in it'll be going in the frying pan....they are the fish of 10000 casts for me during the spawn and standing on the rocks in the dark has limited my trips to almost nil
