The last couple trips to the lake I have caught some of those Magnolia Crappie. Should I let them back. Crappie at that lake are long and lean, so I take it that the forage is slim. Not sure if me taking those crappie is hurting or helping the lake. I enjoy fishing that lake the water is clean with great tasting fish, but the meat is slim, but I'm looking at the long term of this lake. This lake now has an eight inch limit, but I understand with proper management this will help the lake. Most of the fish I catch are at least 12 inches, but slim filets. Is the purpose of those fish to stay in the lake or be taken?
