Hey Guys,

I know this has been discussed before but I was on Cedar this past weekend. As we were leaving I saw a family fishing from the shore near the boat tie down area at the dam. They were holding up a nice bass about 2 lbs. We watched them admiring the bass as they put it on a stringer. I spoke to them in a polite manner and explained to them that the fish needed to be 20 inches the be a legal keeper. The lady told me she just wanted to keep it for a little while and then turn it loose. But I told her that by law it was to be released immediately because it was not a legal keeper.

When it was apparent that they were not going to release it I went back to the truck. I picked up my phone like I was calling somebody. I wish I had the game wardens phone number because I would have called right then. I told them the game warden was on his way.

Tight Lines,
Charlie
