Very Cool John! While I practice catch & release, I appreciate those that
catch and keep the 14" to 18" bass. The bass population needs to be thinned
out too. Otherwise the bass in that body of water will continue to get
smaller and smaller as the population grows. So by taking your legal limit.
you are actually helping the small bass to survive better (because of less
competition) and allowing the bigger bass to get bigger.
