Here we have slot limits on bass as well, 3 fish all can be under 10 inches or one over 16 inches. In a tourney you can keep 5 live fish to be returned after weighing in. Those returned are taken out to different areas of the lake to keep the fish from over crowding one area. Then we have one lake with a no bass rule and another lake you have no limit as long as all fish are under 10 inches in length. I can't seem to understand all those different rules on each body of water you are on. You need to be a lawyer almost to fish some of the waters here. I like to fish an area that has 3 fish limits after June 15th any size or bag limit, but I let them all go back as I do not like to eat bass.
