just wondering if anyone releases crappie like the bassmasters do bass? seems like there would be more crappie if we release them especially during the spawn.

Might be more Crappie but less Fat boys like me. lol
i release the small one in the lake . the large i release in the HOT OIL:D .
slowpole,
I'm with you....I think during the spawn, it should be catch and release....But it doesn't bother me if someone keeps their catch....DemoMan
I'll release some if I've got all I want to clean - nothing against folks
who do, but I don't really like building 'em up in the freezer. I try to
keep 'em et up as I catch them. :D
But if I'm gonna release them, I do it right off the hook, don't think
Crappie are as hardy as Bass about riding all over the lake in a livewell.
Yes I release Crappie, All dinks are let go. I only take home what I want to eat.
We fish allot of different lakes, What ever the lakes length requirement is we increase our keeper length by a couple of inches, throw everything small back. Makes it a little more competitive and the fillets are bigger.

J White,
You said it best....DemoMan
Size limit on my lake is 8". I only keep 10" fish and only as much as I can eat. 10" fish will have at least 5X the meat as an 8".
If bass tasted as good as crappie...you would see a lot more bass released into lake 'Crisco":DQuote:
