There is no size (nor number) limit on dabs....in fact when people go fishing for dabs on the cattleboats...it is not uncommon to have people score well over 100 per person. They take little buckets with them filled halfway with water....drop down like 12 hooks or so baited with squid....then pull up minutes later with most hooks filled. Toss them in their bucket and drop back down for the next one. Not too much fun in my book-- but you can get a bunch of them. You need to eat like 5 of them to make a meal for one person-- but they taste good fried.

No reason I can think of that you wouldn't be able to use a live dab for bait-- just like you would use a smelt, mac, perch, etc..
