I'm envious that you guys can keep 9" fish from the same waters(Tennessee river) that we have to throw that size fish back. Reading Alabama regs on crappie size limits(under 500 acre lakes and all state owned lakes), makes a whole lot more sense than Tennessee. That is intelligent utilization of the resource, whereas our biologist would apparently rather see them go to waste in many of our lakes where they never reach the magic 10" size limit.
