I have caught 200 or so crappie in the last two weeks. It's been a lot of fun, but all the fish but one have been on the small side. The legal size here is 9" inches, and almost all the fish I kept were under 10". I wish I could catch some more decently sized ones, but I believe the local lake doesn't provide the food needed for their sustained growth, at least not at their high population levels. It's a relatively shallow lake and it's bretty small, around 300 acres, so it lacks masses of shad or other pelagic food fishes.
