size limit

I don't have much of a problem with someone keeping some of the smaller bass, but for my moneys worth, as long as a crappie and a gill swim, theres dinner. Rudypoo, I m strait C&R on bass,even crappie when bass fishing. It up to the guy fishing. I fished a tourney a few years ago at Nolin, the guy running the thing kept EVERY bass that was weighed in, for stocking a pond. I was totally livid! I thought they were going to release them, I refuse to fish with them again. I should have called F&W on him but they would have never made it there in time to do anything. It was only 12 or so fish but 7 of them were slots.

Well, that is a whole different story there. That is going over the line in my book. You should have called the department on him.

Made it out to Cumberland on Sunday and for the first time on a big lake I got checked by the game warden, he asked to see our licenses and life jackets, and checked the live well which contained 4 lb largemouth, (later put back in the water for those keeping score at home.) He never asked to see the fire extinguisher or the throw float. Said he had already found three boats that morning that did not have life vests.
Personally I applaud him for trying to make the place a little safer, having been harassed at Green River by a game warden who seem to have a beef with all bass boats and never stopped any of the skiers out running up and down the lake, this guy was nice and apologized for interrupting our fishing.

Excellent post. I was not and don't want to be interpeted as slamming the fish and game guys as I appreciate the hard work they do. But like anything they have issues and most of them stem from the guys and gals shining seats with their butts in Frankfort. They need more people in the field big time, but they say they can't afford it, oh well.

o.k. as far as deer hunting goes. I think if you are 15 yrs old and under you should be able too shoot whatever you want be it big, little buck or doe. 16 and over bucks need to be wider than their ears.

As for fishing, I fish some big strip pits and in the evenings the bass start schooling in swarms the size of houses everywhere. you cast in them you will catch two fish at a time, most of the time but their all little fish. with a 15 in. size limit you can't keep any. would it not be better to keep the short ones so the big one can get bigger. It seems to me a million little mouths would eat more than 10,000 big mouths.

Just my theory but I say keep'em under 2lbs. c&r everything else
