I have said for years they need to increase the limit of 12-15 in bass on Barren to 2 fish instead of 1. But it isnt like the smaller fish have overpopulated Barren to the point that they all look like skeletons. They still have more than enough to eat, so maybe its fine.

I for one think the KDFW does an incredible job at making our waters some of the best fishin one could ask for.

As for me, I filet and eat every keeper largemouth between 15-18 inches (unless I only catch one... not gonna dirty the filet knife over one fish). Above that I release... they dont taste good when they get that big anyway. I also clean and eat any Kentucky Bass big enough to filet. We tend to fish a whole year and freeze the filets then have a huge family cookout once a year. Its nice being able to choose between bluegill, crappie, and bass when you hit the food line.
