RE: missouri crappies
Joel,
I make it up that way a couple of times a year. If you'd like me to help you fish out that pond, just let me know. I'll trade you a bass/striper trip on Beaver Lake in NW Arkansas.
A farm inpoundment needs to be managed and if goes neglected for even a short while, will produce a ton of fish but all will be to small to enjoy.
You need to start culling NOW!
I made the mistake of having a novel pond with plenty of nice fish and made it catch and release. BIG MISTAKE!
