Interesting thread. In Wyoming we only have crappie populations in a few lakes and the limit is 50 per day or in possession.
On one of those lakes this spring if you could not catch 50 to a 100 crappie per day you were not trying. In the boat(s) I fish from we impose a 10 inch minimum size limit for the fish to be kept. Even with this type of success, not a lot of anglers target crappie. Most would rather pull bottom bouncers for walleye than try to catch crappie.
I hear talk among our fish management folks of lower bag limits, but most anglers don't want to see that change.
