John......Sportsmans Warehouse in SouthHaven has them.

They got em in Grenada at Wally World.
They estimate age and was wantint use it for a reference in another thread. Some folks saying a crappie age life span is 4 to 5 years and everything I can find disputes this and the slabmaster does as well.

John...Everything that I have read and studied tells me that they reach maturity in two to three years and that the average life expectancy is 8 to 9 years.

That slabmaster things says a 13 inch fish is 5 to 6 years old, I was surprised at that.

It would be hard to determine age by the length.....too many variables involved. Fertility of the water, food source and supply, and average temps as well as length of growing season. All of these vary in differen't parts of the country and also fro one lake to the next etc.

Agreed, same thing with e weight too. 16 inch fish on Butle will out weigh a 16 inch fish in any of the other big four.

That's true in my experience.

That's why I bought a Rapala Tournament Series touch screen culling scale.

I was talking to a state biologist at Okatibbee and he was telling me that length per age differs from lake to lake. In other words crappie grow bigger and longer in less time at Grenada than they would at Okatibbee.
