gbassman519 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 The state wants you to keep All bass that are 12 ins.Thats the max. but I fish for the thrill of just catching plus everybody I ask if they want the fish - they want ME to clean, Than ain;t happening ! if I give them to you at least you can clean lol I understand the reasoning behind this but a 12 in. is so small don't know what to do now.

CroakHunter Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 So confused. So they want you to keep the bass 12 inches and smaller or 12 inches and bigger? Quote
gbassman519 Posted February 3, 2018 Author Posted February 3, 2018 12 and smaller, can't keep anything over 12 in. Quote
CroakHunter Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 That seems odd. Good luck with it though. Quote
brotekind269 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 IMO: The little fish are wreaking havoc on the newly formed ecosystem. It is a kind of a slot limit, the 12" and less are in abundance so they are "encouraging" keeping them. There is a good video on this site about pond/fishery maintenance. I went fishing there once in the summer and must have caught at least 30 12" or less. I pretty much stopped setting the hook on the obvious bites. Great place to teach someone how to use a plastic worm. It has been years and years since I've cleaned fish, but maybe it's time for a fish fry. Bout time i teach my girls also. Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 13, 2018 Super User Posted February 13, 2018 You harvest the smaller bass to give the larger ones more forage to enjoy and grow. If you want to ponder that philosophy, hit I-95 north at 7 AM and give yourself a few hours of restful pleasure sitting in traffic!!!! Quote
