It's just how I feel about it. I feel when you take out that size fish that hasn't reached maturity at 21/2 to 3 years which are the spawning age crappie you are limiting that impoundment to reach its full potential. Again that's just my opinion and no scientific research to uphold it. And the answer is no it wouldn't hurt my business as a guide in the least.......Ranger
Ok. Thanks. As for numbers there may be something to those that get to fish daily. I'm a Saturday fisherman and usually the crappie know when it's Saturday. So no, I don't catch and keep as many as some fishermen I know. One week ago on Saturday I cleaned 30 all over 10 inches. That's the most I've caught this year.
