We've got some great Crappie fishing here! (pic)

[Dalton Tam]

My buddy was a happy camper, lol. We caught these in two hours, it was a good day. I hear that they are catching them better now than when we caught them a month ago but it's time to put the "perch jerkin" equipment up and catch some PIGS!

Hokie Smokes, are there any left in the water! You must have had a great day, congrats. 

[JigMe]

Great catch, but leave some in the water for other folks, will ya?

[Dalton Tam]

LOL we only went for a couple of hours. I didn't put any hurt on the population at all. I talked with a guy that caught 160 this weekend and my buddy bagged close to 5000 shiners Saturday morning at the store. Our home lake is one of the best crappie lakes I've ever heard of in my life. This picture just come from the first time I actually went "Crappie" fishing. I am a bass fisherman at heart.

"I didn't put any hurt on the population at all."

That's what they said about the passenger pigeon, too.   :-[ Sorry to bust your chops.  Be careful what you say, though.  Call someplace paradice, kiss it goodbye.  Too many people treat crappie like an inexhaustible resource and keep way too many (IMHO).

[whiterockjesse1]

i disagree . crappie are plentiful and abundant .  as long as you dont go over the limit your ok . there is a reason state biologist work with the fish and game dept. on limit amounts .  good job young man , looks like a fish fry coming up

Congrats, but taking out this many crappie puts a hurt on the population even if its a small one if everyone kept this many every time they fished I guarantee you would notice a downturn. Regardless nice Crappie!

Sounds like an Eagles Lyric..."The Last Resort"...so true

[Robert Parsons]

Thats a nice mess of fish.

[slab_jason]

I think it is funny that some fishermen criticize your catch thinking they know better than the biologists who set the catch limits.

Biologists (and, more likely, politicians) often cow down to pubic pressure.

[bigredxlt]

haha pubic pressure? haha sorry that was too funny of a typo to ignore. I work in politics and promise you politicians could care less what the limits on crappie are. Those limits are set by biologists who are rarely exposed to any public or political pressure especially when it comes to limits on fish.
