I can totally understand this, and it's not always the ones following the guidelines set by the Fish and Game Commision. Just a year or so ago there were write-ups of several folks who were caught with two or three of those 100+ quart coolers over flowing with crappie. Limit was 15 per person, and one group of 2 or three fisherman were well over their limit by a couple hundred fish Unscrupulous folks like that sure don't help the fisheries.
