I have been out several times this year on Percy Priest trolling crank baits for crappie. Every crappie we have caught has been at least 10.5 inches long. I haven't caught any short fish at all this year and I find that to be a bit unusual compared to the last few years. Is anyone else seeing the same trend? Has anyone caught a number of short crappie that had to be released? I am wondering if we had a poor recruitment class a few years back.
