Freezer do count. That's what a bag limit is and how many bags u can possess.But Problem is, people but the small ones back. Please take small fish and put big crappies back in water. Lots of those small fish will never grow at sally,Monroe,potoka, and many others have a problem with small fish so many small ones that people aren't taking any home just putting them back in water hoping they grow. But they won't grow with so many of them competing for the same food. Missy gave up 100000 fish in about four months two years ago though the ice. Now the lake in great shape. Numbers are more level. And fish are fat. Just my two cents guys.
have to disagree with you twice.
first your freezer does not count to your possession limit, in Indiana. read the book, its there. if they check you,out and about, you can not have any more than 50 on/with you. its 2 calendar days possession. as in before midnight and after.
second, there is way more than enough food, in just shad alone, to grow those fish. i would have a hard time believing our reservoir fish would stunt. just a great year class. imo
just my opinion on the last one though. it could be human impact too, if its always busy.
