Catch & Release

[plantdr]

On a pressured lake, should you keep the minimum legal size and let the big ones go? Or should you keep the the big ones and let the little ones go?
Does time of year matter. Or the limit is the limit, catch it if you can ?

8-10 inch crappie are your prodominent spawners and should be released! The larger ones hardly produce healthy eggs and they are on the end of their lifespan usually. This is why most length limits are 9 or 10!
