They said the short fish measured before they let them sit over night on ice... The Game Warden counted the fish and charged them as if they caught all the fish in one day... Who knows what's really going on... I don't keep any crappie even close to the 10" size limit... Most of the time I only Keep 12 to 14 inch crappie and let the smaller and larger ones go... I don't think there is a Guide out there that would let people keep under size fish or go over the limit... We may never know the true story or out come of this...
fish shrink on ice and that's a fact for sure . i seen 10.25 summer fish measure just over 9 after an all day ice bath and this isn't a joke
