They need to leave it at 12". When they went from 10" to 12" I was upset also but after watching the boats ramp empty every year and watched these 9" fish jump over 12" finally I couldn't be any happier. The 15 limit will keep some from coming to sardis when you can go to the other 3 and keep 20. My biggest question is why 11". That makes no sense whatsoever. If someone knows or knows someone who knows please explain 11". Sardis is a big fish lake now it worked. Next time there is a meeting on these subjects please post it here and let a variety of people go to these meetings. The only reason I see them changing the 11" is because of a bunch of women were complaining on having to throw back a fish 12" and shorter. Now you watch those same women will be on sardis with there limit of 15 and when they have that limit in about 2-3 hours they will still be fishing culling out those 15 for a bigger stringer full. Those culled and threw back will be a waste.
