Not catching larger ones may be due to one of several reasons. I am not an expert crappie angler. My first thought was the oldest, largest ones died of old age but since they are still relatively young (3-4 yrs) old, age factor is not likely. Fast growing crappie will not live as long and die earlier as crappie that grow slower. Could be the younger more abundant BCP are getting to the bait before the older fewer numbers of "wiser" larger crappie. Crappie may school somewhat by size group so you may not be fishing where the larger crappie are hanging out?
