Newbie here that just started fishing with my 7yr old boy that wanted to get into fishing. We have been fishing for crappie at our local lake and have little success, but that's another story. Yesterday while talking to a guy he warned me that we shouldn't keep and eat any crappie we catch this time of year. He said its to hot, they get soft and can even have worms. I have never hear of this. Is there any truth to this? I live in Ohio and while it has been 10 15 above avg temps, is it safe to eat the fish still?

Thanks
