the problem with "legal is legal" is that it doesnt take into consideration sustainability. If every bass guy out there takes the 5 largest calicos every single time they fished, it would hurt the fishing in a few years. Just because its legal, does it make sense? What will eventually happen to the population?
Use your brains.
Have you ever looked at the back of a PCS mag where they would have 25-40 8-10lb dead calicos on the back of a sporty? But hey it was legal. how many 10lb fish are caught along our coast now? sustainability people.
