I’m curious to everyone’s thoughts on the state of the overall health of the crappie at GRL. Specifically the amount of fish over 11” the last two years has taken a significant decline? There is no doubt a tremendous amount of crappie in the 8-9 1/2” range with a few 10-10 3/4” fish but not a lot. It seems to be somewhat over populated with smaller fish anymore? Anyone else experiencing the same or it is just me? Hatch related? We must of caught over 200 crappie yesterday and the vast majority (70%) were 8-9 1/2”. Deep, shallow, different sections of the lake, etc it didn’t seem to matter.

Thoughts?
