If like many your ultimate goal is a 3 lb. crappie removing 2 lbers. is one less chance. With the advantages we have for those that master livescope IMHO there is no way it doesn't change the big fish population over the years. Just my 2 cents. Scott
I try to let really large ones in my area go most of the time , mostly because of the way it might make some other lucky individuals feel when they manage to ketch a real nice crappie .
but to be very sure of this , if my intention is to keep some , they all go in the bucket if they are legal size.
I am of the opinion that keeping crappie in spots where there are lots of them does zero harm to the general population .
it has been said that mother nature is the driving force on the general population in most lakes and that is likely the case .
in other parts of the country this may not be so , but here in Texas they grow fast and go away faster ....just saying
you ever see some fool with a maybe close to 2 lb PB crappie losing his mind about the 3 lber he just ketched ?
it is priceless for darn sure I promise :Rofl
Good article, I have seen very small crappie here on the Gulf Coast with eggs. Seems size does not matter when spawning, the water conditions during the spawning period / cycle dictates whether it is more advantageous / restrictive to the Crappie for a successful spawn IMO.
I'll do whatever I feel like at the time within the regulations and I'll let the biologists do their studies. :cheers2
Interesting.
