I know what hypocrisy is. Is people who don't you to keep a bass and thank it is alright to keep crappie or don't you to keep crappie but bass are alright and the ones that want every striper in there lake kept and killed. We all that fish have a bit of hypocrisy. The same people who don't want you to keep bass will take one off the nest and take it sometimes miles to a weight in and thank it is alright. I have not kept a bass in years, but the mdc says you can keep 5 (I thank) they say you can keep 15 crappie. They should know what the lake will produce. JMHO
