ill eat some bass once a month, i beleve all lakes should have slot limits, so all the smaller, more aggresive fish arent eating everthing up.i think their would be bigger fish to be cought. ive read on this site before,that the smallmouth fishing is much better at dale hollow since the slot limit was put in. the catch and relese is great but that puts much more hardship on biger fish to eat, well thats what i think anyway.
