Crappie Age and keeping big fish

[Fish4life71]

That tickles me!.. I used to fish with a buddy from work and his dad, we called him pawpaw.

After they passed the 9" limit in 'Bama, ol' Pawpaw still wanted to keep everything he caught. He'd put 6, 7, and 8" fish in the livewell... we'd tell him, "we can't keep that that little anymore Pawpaw".. and ol' Pawpaw would just go to cussin!.. "he ate a bleep bleep 5 cent minnow didn't he? He's a bleep bleep keeper!!!" Then he'd really go to cussin' when we would pull his short fish out of the livewell and throw it back in the lake... he'd even threatened us with bodily harm if we did it again!:D:D:D

lol im not that bad, i do follow rules and regulations smallest ill keep a crappie is 9 inches any smaller they arent worth filletting

That funny GCD :D:D I fished with lots of old timers that would be ready to throw you out of their boat if you told them they couldn't keep a fish

When I catch a few big ones I keep 'em. What few fish I keep every year aint going to hurt the spawn, that's for sure.
