Cool Video.
I am not saying any of your fish are short, but I would hate for someone to get a ticket for a short fish due to incorrect measuring. This is just a friendly FYI.
How to Measure a Freshwater Fish
From the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division Fishing Regulations
1.Place the fish on its side with the jaw closed.
2.Squeeze the tail fin lobes together.
3.Measure in a straight line from the tip of the snout to the extreme tip of the tail.
4.You must release all fish shorter than the minimum length indicated for that species.
They all looked legal to me. Great catch Hotwater :highfiveQuote:

they also won't care that the spider-man "thought" they all looked legal. just saying.....
Since when has there been a length limit in Ga!

Like I said it is a FYI on how to measure a fish. I know there is no length limit for crappie in GA, but there are for other fish. I also know that a lot of other states have length limits on crappie and I also know that many members on the board travel to other states to fish. It never hurts to know the correct way to do something. I was being done incorrectly in the video.
Knowledge is power and ignorance is bliss.
Keep up the good work Hotwater! I enjoy your reports and video.
Great videos!!!!! I checked the others on You tube and I was impressed with the quality of the average size of the fish. Where I live the top lake in va is Kerr reservoir. On this lake their are no limits on size or length. Most Crappie fishermen let the small ones go to get bigger. Great report as always!!!!!:highfive
How can it be short with no size limit?Quote:

some from Ga go to Fla where some lakes has a length limit like Talquin and are very strict on it .
I haven't seen a Ranger on a Georgia lake in 15 years. I hate to say it, but I don't think nobody has much to worry about but their conscience. I wish there was more Rangers.
Jim and I have been checked twice by DNR on Lake Oconee. We were checked in the spring of 2016 in Sugar Creek and this winter on the Appalachee. I agree with you. I wish they were out there more often.Quote:

Thank you hotwater for taking the time to record and share with the crappie. Com community.
As far as rangers, i usually see them about twice a year on average at the hill. One ranger admitted that they are way understaffed. They are out a lot on calls. See them usually around holidays.
