When they removed the size limit on Cedar Creek lake the fish started getting bigger. Not even the same animal as Green River Lake I know but it sure made a difference.

i am probably wrong but I think the reason why fish don't get as big in green is because they don't have time to grow......just think of how many 9 inch crappie are taken out of green everyday....anymore when you go you will see 15 to 40 boats crappie fishing and just say 40 and they average out to get 20 keepers per boat that 800 crappie....... that is why when somebody goes with me I tell them to just keep 10" +..........
We have that same problem in some of these Southern Ohio lakes only for years we had no size limit with a 30 fish limit. Everyone complained so the state made it 9" limit and kept the limit at 30. Personally I think the problem is more the 30 fish limit. I continually see where guys are keeping 30-50 fish a trip. I can see keeping some fish but who needs a 100 fillets 3 times per month.
Slabeye, I tell everyone the same thing in my boat...just keep the 10's or better and once (of if)we get to about 15 fish in the live well, I close the lid.
