This is great information and good examples for other members to see what you crappie growers are doing. If you are catching nice sized crappie, you may not be doing the all traditional things, but you must be doing some things correctly to grow some decent crappie. We should be looking for repeating patterns of correct things that produce quality sized crappie. IMO one thing we should pay attention to is how much manual removal of small crappie is needed in each situation. For some pondowners manual removal of small fish is not practical or desired, and some people may find more hands on "fish squeezing" efforts are part of the pond management fun.
