same here,got some dirty looks making people in my boat throw back the bigger gills and big female crappies with eggs still in em.gotta leave some breeders for the grand kids.i have seen small public lakes and private ponds cleaned out of decent gills cause people keep hundreds off the beds.starting to see it in larger lakes,overall size is getting smaller.but some places can take the pressure more than others
