Ketchn I agree with you. That is why I fish with 2# and sometimes 1# test line and different action UL rods and one XUL rod. There are some agency lakes close to me that are overrun with crappie.....thousands of them in the 9-10 inch range. I may have to fish all day to get a 15 fish limit of 10 inch fish but I keep them and give them to some needy folks who clean them whole. But catches of 100 fish a day are the norm in those lakes. It is a win win situation. I am having a ball and others are getting benefit also....and the crappie population is being thinned out.
