yearly totals?

[hambandit]

anyone keep a record of how many fish they keep a year? kinda interested in that data along with how many youre allowed to keep a day in your state/lake.

Total fish to date is 944. Hope to get some more this afternoon.

good lord thats over 8 a day assuming youve been every day this year. are those all crappie you kept?

I did one year pulling crankbaits only counting fish over 12" and the total was 798. Big crappie make bartering easy, vegetables, small welding repairs and it just a good feeling to see the look on peoples face when you offer them some fish. If you figure 10-15 plus fish 3 times a week on average it dont take long to add up. Being retired has its perks .

I catch around 2000 crappie a year.....but I’m not a crappie fisherman. I’m an UL angler who fishes with actual 2# test line and once I find them I just keep casting until they no longer bite....love the fun. I’m over 400 crappie from just 4 days fished during the past 2 weeks....12-13.5 inches. Over 100 from one spot siting on the bank on Tuesday. The lake these come out of you can keep 15, ten inch length limit. I have not kept a crappie in the past 5 years.....rare for me to keep any fish but do on occasion. I used to keep meticulous records but as I’ve aged I’ve quit doing that. For the past couple of years my YouTube channel is where I go to to see my records. Starting end of June.....and lasting through August I’ll get on a spot that produces hundreds of crappie.....and I’ll fish it over and over with same lure. Not many will target crappie for the fun factor.....but the gear I fish with....Super Ultra Light rods and Xtra Ultra Light rods.....it is an absolute ball.

I always lose count after 1

I’m a crappie fisherman by night but bass angler by day. I still don’t catch a lot maybe only 100-200 this 2020. I don’t keep crappie every trip just enough to make my wife happy from time to time. I only keep 11-13” crappie smaller or bigger get released no matter what, and that goes with whoever come fish with me. So far I’ve kept around 30.

I've been fishing about 4-5 days a week. But some days it's only an hour or so. All bank fishing except one short session on a boat.
The count consists of about 50% crappie, 30% bluegill and 20% bass. The vast majority were caught on UL rigs. The numbers mount up when you have some 40-50 fish days. I hope to top 1000 before the end of the month.

haven't even been yet this year other then a couple times from pier on local lake, last year went 19 times and caught 968 all crappie.
