Crappie are a difficult fish to manage. In some lakes, it takes a long time for them to get to 9 inches.
I set my minimum keeper length at 10 inches years ago. I also don’t keep them longer than 13 inches. But as long as people are following the regs of the lake they are fishing, I don’t care what others keep.
I got a new Fish cooker for my birthday and I intend on frying fish a lot more often. My Catch and Release % is going to go down as soon as I use up the fish I caught last year.
