Thanks for the info and opinions. I took my wife out this weekend and we caught about 40 crappie in about an hour. We kept about 30 of them. Almost all were in the 12-17 in range. I plan on pulling another another 50-100 crappie out this weekend along with another 50 smaller bass.
I guess I'll just focus on getting as many crappie out as possible and trying to grow a few more bigger bass like the biologist recommends. Just seems a shame to pull out all these big crappie, too bad I can't keep them. Crappie fishing doesn't get much better.
I caught a few 3+ pound bass on crappie jigs this weekend so the bass are obviously eating the smaller crappie (which is my theory on why I have so many big crappie percentage wise).
