Realize also, that most people don't eat Bass, like they do or as often as they do Crappie. Crappie are also a more prolific breeder than Bass.

Major tourneys like Crappie Masters or Crappie USA have a 7 fish limit, and all are released.

That particular tournament at Taylorsville, 4/26/14 was a "Fishing for Kosair Kids Tourney" put on by FOP Lodge #82 (Mt Washington), with a cookout & raffle following the tourney. http://www.louisville.com/louisville...pie-tournament

So, there was no 2day/300 boat fishing tournament at Taylorsville Lake.

Taylorsville Lake is beat to death with tournaments, anglers fishing it most every day, and heavy traffic from boats of all sizes/styles ... and it still continues to produce decent fish. And, oddly enough ... I'm catching bigger & healthier Crappie from the lake, now, than I have ever caught from there, and I've fished the lake since it opened !! Jus' sayin' !!
