Thread: MDWFP crappie projection

Don't have to close for the spawn. We just need to throw them back. Eat em IF ya need em, and put the Big Girls back to fight another day. We can't blame the COE for taking to many out. We see the solution to this problem in the mirror every morning. To many anglers think because they catch limit after limit, it makes them look like a great fisherman. Lots of guys just want the tailgate shot, and then gripe about to many to clean. JMO

Like I said, "Eat Em IF Ya Need Em", but with the money most guys spent to go fishin, I'm almost sure that most folks really don't NEED em!!!!
