Poll: Size Limits

stevomac59 · 05-17-09, 12:35 PM

I don't know if this poll has already been done... but here it goes..

What is the size limit for the bass at your fishing location..

Mine is 18''

fishin spro · 05-17-09, 12:36 PM

ours is 12"

18" is pretty dang big...that would be about A 4LB FISH WOULDNT IT?

stevomac59 · 05-17-09, 12:37 PM

yeah... the limits here are pretty tight and are higly enforced... but every now and then you get the guys who collect and keep the undersized bass..

but I agree.. that's a pretty hefty limit.

yeah ours is 12.... most lakes are usually 12 or 14 inches..... never heard of one being 18.... hmmm good to know

look under <"FISHING REGULATIONS"> I know, it's not like I keep the bass, Im all about C&R, but I do think it's rather high...

Jim80 · 05-17-09, 02:01 PM

haha, I knew that was coming!

bamabassman · 05-17-09, 08:48 PM

here it is 15" min.

carolina-rig-01 · 05-17-09, 08:55 PM

14" in oklahoma and 15" in missouri. i fish in both states.

jcw1503 · 05-18-09, 07:47 AM

THe local lakes around here do not have size limits, but there are also no tournaments either. Just small 40 acre lakes....they only have limits on the amount you can keep

MississippiBoy · 05-18-09, 10:02 AM

Most lakes around here are 15", a couple are 12".

Fishnngolfn · 05-18-09, 11:33 AM

Whatever the owner of the pond wants us to do since we fish primarily private ponds. I don't know the limits here in Alabama but I do know that when I fish public waters, I throw everything back anyway. Pictures and the memories are enough for me.

X2! Nicely Put

BigBassin144 · 05-18-09, 02:14 PM

I just put under 10 cause I don't think we have one. If we keep bass, they're all 14-17" anyways cuase they're the best eating.

BB

Basscrazie · 05-21-09, 05:52 PM

16" on the lake i fish regular and alot of slot lakes nearby.

3dkicker · 05-21-09, 06:16 PM

VA is screwed up. We have no limit, 12" limit, NC limit (three of five must be over 14"), slots like 12-15", and the Potomac 15" limit which lasts from March to June to protect those important spawning fish. It basically depends on when and where you fish.

keithdog · 05-21-09, 11:21 PM

Ours is 14" for lakes, 12" for rivers and lake Michigan. Of course the DNR has special size limits of specified waters.

NWOhioBear · 05-21-09, 11:34 PM

It's 14 for here also. Something bigbassin144 should know!

Also from May 1st till June 27th you can't take bass from Lake Erie. It is catch and release only.

nofearengineer · 05-22-09, 11:53 AM

My favorite lake, Patoka is 15".

The pit 3 miles from my house is 18".

I agree with the pit, disagree with Patoka, but I would like to hope they know what they're doing.

doc · 05-22-09, 12:16 PM

our local hog lake has a limit of 4 fish under 16 inches or three fish under 16 and one over 21

16-21 go back in, we have had 7-8 lbers in the slot
