My SMB to LMB ratio at Deer Creek this year is 20-1.
That lake is rife with aggressive SMB this year. Finding a Largie is a relatively rare treat.
Even as a bass newbie I've never thought LMB and SMB were that hard to tell apart... between the mouth and the color patters they are pretty different.
Enforcing a CR policy for LMB is another matter -- I would favor that also. It's really no different than the Cutt slot limit at Strawberry -- heck it's even less confusing than that. Many of us will follow the rules. Some won't. That be life.
I had another fun morning up at DC reeling in Smallies on the Pop-R. I imagine that's going to shut down here fairly quickly as the water temp drops.
The recent rain has had a positive impact on the water level... it was actually a foot or two HIGHER than last week with the walking end of the dock in the water.
