I think that if we lighten up on stuffing our freezers full of fish and let them have a better spawn, there will be more crappie fry to compete with the carp fry for plankton and more 10" crappie to eat the carp fry. I'm going to Mississippi next week to catch some slabs with shoulders on them, they have them partially because they have a 12" min size limit and 15 fish per day. If anyone is fishing solely for their next meal, they are going about their next meal the hard way.
