The way I see it, me and countless THOUSANDS of others have been pulling literally MILLIONS of crappie out of Lake Palestine since it was impounded in 1962 (and back in the beginning there weren't any limits so crappie by the hundreds per boat were being pulled from the lake) and I can still go at any time and catch a few for supper and at certain times, have no trouble catching a limit. There are enough crappie out there for everyone willing to go find them so I don't mind lending a hand. Just my 2 cents.
