PamonaJ, having crappie in smaller ponds is generally considered to be not advisable against a background of what kind of management could be necessary to achieve one's goals of say, 12-13" plus crappie.

Your pond may have achieved some kind of natural balance that allows for some crappie to grow large, so enjoy it while you can.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
