Several years ago, my wife and I joined my mom and dad at a friend of theirs house that had a private lake. We all brought our fishing gear, and spent the better part of the afternoon and evening fishing and drinking beer. I pulled in a good sized crappie, but since I didn’t know the regulations on a private lake, I threw it back. A few weeks later I told this tale to some buddies of mine, and they just about knocked me out of my barstool. Appearantly, the fish I caught would have been a record setter for the state of Iowa. So my question is what is the game regulations on a private lake, and what should I have done if throwing it back was the wrong thing to do. Looking forward to your answers, and don’t be afraid to share your tales of “the one that got away” as well. Your answer could win ya ten points. Take care.
