Keeping Bass?

[scartinez]

I keep bass from 10-12 inches all the time from our reservoirs. Always let the big ones go unless their gut hooked bad. I mainly keep smallmouth cause they tend to stunt in our waters. People can keep any fish they want within the legal limits but some limits just aren't right. For instance, largemouth due really well in our low elevation ponds but having a limit of 4 fish just isn't right. The fishing in these ponds could be so much better if people practiced catch and release but their not forced to and so the populations suffers. Then we end up with very mediocre bass fishing in these ponds.
