after finishing eating the rest of my previous haul i knew i needed to get more. took the boat out yesterday and kept another dozen and let around 2 dozen go. they averaged a little bigger this time with a decent around around 9-10in and i got a couple of 12in specimens. by far crappie is one of the best fish i have ever eaten and i will rival it with saltwater fish like cod, seabass, fluke, and tautog.
