Sprkplug - Great work! No doubt now about the size of RES rakers. Now if Lovnlivin provides some pics of the rakers from his crappie we should be able to settle this debate.

FYI. I went to the pond near me with YP-RES and a few WE. Caught 20 fish in one hour. Four were YP and rest were all GSF - no RES! Somehow GSF have invaded this pond and are multiplying like flies. Biggest GSF was 3.25" and smallest was 2.25". This pond will now go 'downhill' fast. GSF will easily control RES reproduction by eating all the GSF eggs and fry. YP were 9" long and very thin bodied. One would expect the YP to be plump from eating GSF. Evidently YP do not eat GSF very well.
