I'm no biologist, but it seems to me sunfish are prolific breeders. Crappie, I'm less sure about. But I don't see why a limit would need to be placed on ALL NY waters. Not to mention, there aren't a lot of people who fish for sunnies as compared to other "game fish". I do believe it should be considered on an area by area basis though as a lot of the game fish eat them. I don't know how prolific Crappie are, but I think they're in the same boat (no pun intended) to a lesser degree. Though, I think the current limit of 50 is basically "unlimited". Who needs to catch more than 50 Crappie in a day?
