I'd like to kill every one I can get lead in and throw them back for the turtles. My old neighbor on lake Palestine was 87 years old and shot them off his porch every day they came through and roosted in Ledbetter creek with a 22.He kept a tally and In 2006 killed 987. I'd hate to think of all the crappie that have been lost since he died. Everyone looked the other way when that rifle went off.

Don't be so boring Dan. You need to try new things and expand your horizons.

You would if you knew how many fish they eat
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

You would if you knew how many fish they eat Especially when they are your fish in your own private pond or reservoir. I got my permit this year and shot the sh*t out of them. After hammering them the first 3 weeks of duck season they all pretty much disappeared. After hunting season ended they started concentrating more in our reservoir but I guess they migrated back north because I only see a couple now when I am down there. That or they already ate all of the 10,000 bluegill and 2,000 crappie we stocked in there 
I'm with GK because I like salty old dudes.

They eat a lot. I've seen them dive in and bring up crappie that they couldn't carry or swallow and leave the flopping on the surface with their air bladders extended. I say kill them all.

In fact now would be a great time to lay waste to them before they destroy another age class of fish in a fishery.

I won't go out of my way to hunt them but it would be great if they opened up a season on them. Control them and help with fishing populations which are probably pretty stressed now anyway with the drought we have been having the last few years.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

The best is when you shoot into a big group of them and every single bird flops and dives towards the water and you think you at least killed a couple and then they all fly away unscathed. They are pretty shifty
