can be enforced and it can never be drained without DEQ's permission - under
the laws that govern wetlands.

That means your state is CRAZY, and you will never have any decent size
fish in a small pond,, not for long anyway,, I would love to read that
law,, surely it's posted some where on the internet ?

Let me tell you that is not the case everywhere,, and it's sure not down
south, our state has a little bit of brains when it comes to fish and
game management

I don't think you're going to find anyone here that's going to advocate you
"throwing away" a bass regardless of the circumstances.

The problem is

You don't understand fish & game laws

If I owned a pond,, I can catch and cook/throw away, 200 bass out of
that pond in a single day, and have broken no laws. I could even drain
that pond killing every fish in it, and have broken no laws.

Farm ponds and lakes are not under limit laws of the states

Limit laws are for the maintaining of species in "public" waters

WHat part of

" This lake is on my ranch"

"I Built this lake 4 years ago "

"I stocked this lake"

"the fish biologist that checks this lake twice a year tells us to
remove all undersize bass"

Did you not understand

Reponses: Probably is, but don't look for me to go find it.

Response: If George has anything to do with it, you're right, a little brain

Lots of places do not have size limits. In California, some lakes have a
slot limit, and others a minimum size and others have no size limit.

AHA!!!

The truth rears it's ugly head. You simply dislike Bush so therefore
everything he does is subject to your disapproval.

You have to remember the worst thing about U.S. politics is the politicians
.... all of them.

I believe the same thing applies to farmlands and hunting. So if I own 500
acres... can I legally harvest deer from there 365 days a year? Nope!

Actually Charles, you can! If you have that 500 acres totally surrounded by
fence, there were no deer there to begin with, and you paid for the deer
that are now in there, you can hunt deer 365 days a year.

High fence operations do that all the time. AND, you don't need to have a
hunter's safety certificate, a hunting licence and you can use any weapon
that your little ol' heart desires.
