Bass regs passed

I already gave you one example, Hyrum. When the limit was two fish, (I believe under 12"?) there were plenty of 12-15" fish. Now that there aren't any restrictions, nearly every group of fisherman on the bank, in a boat, or at the cleaning station has a rope full of fish. And no, they aren't keeping the abundant 6" fish; they are keeping everything above 11", any thing big enough to eat. If every fish killed is being replaced by a young 5 or 6" then you don't have to be a biologist to do the math because it equals NO larger fish. It leaves lots of smaller fish and everyone saying that we need to start killing the small ones because it's their fault that there aren't any larger ones. There simply are not enough larger size fish for everyone to take (6) each on every trip. If 50 people a week fish a lake in a week, (which I guarantee is a conservative estimate), and they each kill their allowed (6) fish, and that goes on for (8) months a year, that is = 9,600 eater size fish a year killed. There is NO WAY that doesn't have an effect on the fish populations!!!! It’s no wonder there is an over abundance of smaller fish.
