So glad you guys are continuing this series. You are completely right about lowering the limits and putting a slot on them. With the new technology it's almost not fair to the fish to keep the limits at where their at. Thanks for the videos!

Great videos guys. I started fishing crappies Red in 1993 through 2008. During the BOOM the DNR wanted those fish gone because the crappies were eating all the walleye fry that they were stocking. Plus, that 1995 year class that made the boom was near the end of their natural life spam. The crappies never left. They were just where we can't fish.

Love the message. Lower the limits, let the big ones go. Be responsible. People are not supposed to take 3 day limits in Minnesota anyway. I believe laws state yout allowed to have 1 daily limit per person. Your freezer limit equals your daily possession limit. We know its tough to manage that. But it would be nice if people practiced better fishing ethics and helped keep these great fisheries going.

Back in 2005 we fished the rainy river during the day in our boats catching 50 walleyes a day. Then we would head to Red to go pound slabs for the late afternoon bite. Some of the best fishing I’ve ever experienced. I had a day that I caught 3 walleyes over 27” and then to catch a few crappies over 16” on the ice was just unreal.

Glad to see CC is back and happy you're featuring crappies on Upper Red. Ice conditions this winter are a lot different than last year, so for those out fishing be aware of the ice conditions, 35 anglers floated away from the shoreline up near Beacon Harbor Resort this past weekend. Kudos for the commentary about being conservative about the crappie harvest. I would also like to add that a day or two on the ice there can provide a lot of fishing diversity. As Pink stated early in this video, he was angling for drum, a vastly under appreciated native fish. One can also angle for walleye, northern and whitefish. A great multi-species angling experience imo.

The same thing happened to lake Winnie when the jumbo perch where 100 limit per person. my dad said when he was young everyone was limiting out and going home with truck loads of jumbo perch. Then they switched to limit to 50 then 20. Lake Winnie went through a down trend as well for awhile but now you can see it coming back and they are bigger than before! 13 - 15 inch perch and they are like sharks and will eat anything in front of them lol. Super cool to see some of these lakes coming back strong :) gotta keep these lakes safe now and experience it!

@bossbrosoutdoors3840 7 ай бұрын

Great video! I think it’s important to also call attention to how long fish are out of water in cold weather, and making sure you dunk your metal bump board to get it wet before placing wet fish on it (your fish will stick to it otherwise). Absolutely release the breading fish and don’t keep your limit just to keep your limit, but also important is being cognizant of these other critical items as well.

I remember those days. I is hard to believe that you had to drill two overlapping holes to be able to land these crappies. I can't tell you how many times I've lost crappies because a 10" hole wasn't big enough. 🤔 My personal best is a 3.14 lb crappie. Way bigger than a 5 gallon bucket lid.

Love the content but reason why the crappie number went down were not what yall think. Sure fishing pressure was a part but low numbers of walleye during the 90s due to netting is the reason why the crappies blossomed. When the crappies were the main predator in the lake they exploded. Once the dnr starting stocking the lake wuth shit tons of eyes to combat netting is when the crappies disappeared to where they are now.

The great part about red lake is you can practice catch and release. Fishing lake of the woods for crappie you can’t release fish due to how deep you’re fishing.

@695gene2 7 ай бұрын

Daily limit and poss. limit is 10 to a person with a LIC. The first boom came on because of over fishing walleyes by netting. Crappies built the resorts, bait shops, gas station, the walleyes did not. If it really is back, it will be gone, because no one will stop just because, AGREED they need to change the Regs to a special limit,. People will just SAY, I drove this far and I am owed a limit of fish- never mind that they have 5 other limits in the freezer.
