Yep, you are exactly right, the reg is going thru the approval process now and they said probably change around March. The reason given for the change is that 70% of the crappie population are blacks and are stunted, many are dieing of old age due to not being harvested, if it makes fishing better I'm all for it. The change would not bother me, you can still go for your 15 and/or take a few shorts home if you want. Thanks Eric, it was a good meeting and I learned a few things and appreciate the work you guys are doing on the lake.
