re: Bass size limits in the spillway

i personally don't like it, i happen to like the 14" size limit...there are big fish in the spillway...they ARE THERE. i think they would have done better moving it to 5 over 14" and 5 under...
Either way, the laws only work if enforced, and I have never been checked fishing the spillway or verret (been fishing it my entire life). you know coonasses keep smaller fish anyway, it happens. i really wish they would have gone to a 12" limit first instead of removing it, that way we could really see if it's the fishing pressure hurting it or if it really follows their "study". If you're catching nothing but 11.5" fish in a couple of years you would have your answer and could reevaluate.

Btw, about a month ago someone posted many charts on the life span of bass in the spillway released from LDWF that pretty much showed the fish got to 14" and died, not many got bigger. And the fish that were 14" were old fish. Ill try to find a link to it.
