My son has a pond that is 3 plus acres and is around 14 years old. When it was built it was stocked with Bass, Bluegill and Channel catfish. About a year after these fish were introduced a local angler put in some Black Crappie. All fish are doing very well and has never been overfished. When I Crappie fish their I can always catch many and they are all 12 to 13 inchers that are very thick and fun to catch. What I don`t understand is that I don`t ever catch any smaller Crappie. I fished their last weekend and caught several females that were full of eggs. I was wondering if maybe they were not reproducing or were maybe reproducing but all were getting ate up by larger fish. I was also wondering if maybe that we ought to introduce some White Crappie?

Thanks
