Size limit on my lakes is 10in. I use ice to cool my water, recirculate and aerate the livewell and keep 95% of my fish alive until I get home and clean them, even in the heat of summer. I threw this one back, too close for me. Throw back or keep?

Throw Back...
Better safe than sorry, throwback
almost an inch short, THROW IT BACK I wouldn't keep anything under 10 1/4 inches.
Since you have a 10" limit that is definitely a throwback. We don't have to worry about size in Va (except 1 lake) but I still limit myself to 10" or better. Unless I just need 1 or 2 more for a good supper. I wonder how many tickets have been given throughout the states for a 9-10" crappie.
Why is that even a question?
At 10.125 lots of fish that are above the 10 inch minimum get eaten ....
It’s a personal preference kind of thing I think ...
I hit lakes where above 10 is a 1 in 10 fish and on those lakes at or above 10 they keep them .
I like a bit more wiggle room on them myself if I am going to eat some .
One thing for certain if they are that close they might get scrutiny from local law enforcement on a bag check .
Keep in mind the average size of a crappie as well , 9 inches is considered the avaerage length from what I read .
Of course some spots have large crappie without a doubt , but lots more don’t .
Looks illegal why the question.
Looks to be over 10” to me on one side but I alway close the tail and make sure it’s over the minimum length on both sides .they do shrink so I wouldn’t chance it on that one!
I'm confused
