My home lake right now the biologist are saying (we encourage anglers to keep their limit of 5 bass under 14")... sooooo...everytime I go I keep 5 bass under 14".

Next year they tell me not to I won't....it's that simple.
Way to be a team player doggone! The truth is just about every lake could use a good thining of small bass. Unfortunately most bass fisherman refuse to do this and would talk down to a fellow angler if they saw them doing this. We need more anglers like you. Keep up the good work and feel free to come down to Central Arkansas and harvest some small bass!
