Very good CG1...............
Thats brings a smile to anyones face and thinking...............
during the lake crescent slabfest, we had as guests, the state biology team in to determine the age of our fish. Very interesting how they disect their ear canal to find a little bone that has rings, like the trunk of a tree that tells the fish age. Thought i would have a lttle fun for a couple days with the ones that were not at crescent to figure out what the heck i was describing as my catch as above as to age. Below is the chart the biologists made for us as they dissected our fish(they would never hear again by the way, as they cut their ears out! LolAttachment 83510
I feel so bad, i never dawned on me that was age of fish you caught at
Crescent. New ahead of time the people were comming but had no idea what all
they were going to get into and tell people about...............
Really was good to know and show fellow fisherman how things are done and what
these people have in mind for present and future of our favorite sport to protect
and advance it for future generations............
Thanks again Linda.
Duh, must be my age thinking...
i do have 8 great grand children, 13 grandchildren - they sure can dream up
enough things to keep life interesting.
If you study the chart carefully, it looks like the 10 1/2 in fish to 12 in fish are kinda where they might be, but take a look at the rest like the 12 3/4 and 13 inch fish, then the 14 inch-----------14 vs 14 3/4 ???? and the 14 3/4 vs the 12 3/4??? somebody got stunted or ate mighty fish kibble one of the two?
just some fish kibble for thought to get some minds offf the big "weekend" coming up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Picture does not show entire breakdown or i am missing something.
What based on what you saw was the average age and lenght of fish
in our state or more in this lake.
Example: 10 in. fish is approx 3 yrs
11 in 4 yrs
12 in 4 -5 yrs
13 in
14 in
15 in
16 in yrs
Just curious if they were able to give you an average age of fish caught
Thanks

According to the chart, the 3 year old crappie was the most caught on that particular day at Lake Crescent.
length wise in inches rougly where did the 3 yr olds stand on the average ?
12 - 13 - 14 inches etc..............did they state what they thought was
the average life-spand of a black crappie in Florida ?

And not all fish were killed and tested, probably only half. And the biologist told me most Florida has an average of 3 year lifespan.
Interesting, about 4 yrs ago, i spoke with FWC recorder style person and partner
who were doing shocking systems in the lake was at.............
They kinda said in so many words that the ave black crappie in Florida had a life
span of 5 yrs...............that it was high into their second year before they
started to produce eggs............. Having never personally checked one out, may
look into said due to some of the 2 pounds plus we took this year so far look to
be muchg older than 5 yrs, just by the size of their rib cages and the amount of
cartlege around ribs....
I know average life span of crappie in Northern states, Minn, Wisc, and up into
Canada around Lake of Woods area they seem to live longer, but also grow slower
11 - 12 inch up their they saw could be 8 - 10 yrs old.
Will look into learning how to cut out cheeks to check age...........
Nice catch. Glad they grow up fast
