The fish were small in length but healthy. Back then you could keep 30 fish 10 inches or better. You didn't have to measure the fish. We didn't even have a ruler in the boat back then. Times have changed, I haven't caught 10 plus fish off a brush pile in a long time. The fish are bigger now though. Before I started my older friends tell me the lake had some really big crappie. I think the guide curve and the loss of structure really hurt Enid until they moved to the 12 inch size. Who knows, I'm no biologist

BD, I think this statement hits the nail on the head for all 4 of our lakes. But especially Enid and Sardis.
