[quote bassrods]...the next year you have the fish that the year before was 10" to 11" is now 12" to 14" but they get fished out as the summer go by..So the lake will still have small bass and you have the people saying the bass are stunted.. [/quote]
Is there anything available, like a creel survey or anything else, than can help us identify if those fish really are being harvested?
like wormandbobber said -- if harvest is the problem, then a slot will work. But if harvest isn't the problem -- if those 10" to 11" fish are only growing to 12", and never getting any bigger....then the slot might not do anything at all.
So, is there any information available that suggests those fish are being harvested as soon as they reach 14"??
(it has to be more than cliff saying "this is what I see".)
