I'm not a marine biologist by no means but have any of ya'll ever fished a pond for crappie that doesn't get fished much? Man you can catch the fire out of them but the biggest ones will generally be around 8 or 9 inches long if that long. If they did restrict the number of poles on ky lake I'd be real worried that the single polers and two polers wouldn't be able to keep up with the growing population of crappies. I'm not saying that single polers and two polers catch less though.
