Thread: Reduced limits on KY and Barkley Lakes

I just noticed that I made a mistake, instead of 43 E-mails it was 45........something that I ment to post was something that Paul Rister said that suprised me “Our studies have shown that fishing mortality is around 74 percent annually,” Rister said. “In other words, for every 100 keeper crappie that you’ve got swimming around out there, 74 of them will get caught and harvested this year.”

This came out of an article in the paper in March

I would have to disagree with the 74% statement. In looking at the electronic tracking survey in 03, almost all of those fish were tracked every week for a long period of time. If 74% were caught , how coiuld that be?
