BASS Release...? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dpasinli · 07-09-2013, 01:02 PM

We all know or should know that sandies and calico bass take some time to mature. I've read that the sustainable thing to do is to release the larger/older bass and keep the smaller ones....

Questions is, and keeping in mind the new regs, what size is deemed a keeper and at what point should we begin to released.(lets use the metric of inches not lbs)....? Any insights would be appreciated! Fish on brothers! dp.

Over the years, I've always been told the bigger the bass the better breeder is should be. So, personally I release all bass over 18"s.
