My opinion on the matter is this. I don't feel that there should be a rod limit. Fishing is fishing, so whatever your method of choice so be it. I would like to see the creel limit lowered and a length limit put in place at reelfoot. I fish the foot religiously. Granted I don't catch a whole lot of short fish, I'm sure some people do. When you keep a fish under 10 inches, think of how many fish you've actually killed. How many fry could that fish help produce? I'll never see a huge impact on the crappie population as long as I live, but I'd like to insure my kids or grandchildren could fish the same waters as me and have the same experience.
