When to keep a Calico?

[Useful Idiot]

I've always been told 12-16" is the best on the fishery, and avoid killing the large breeders. I haven't killed a calico in years, but I see nothing wrong with keeping one here and there, they do make good tacos. Can't say I'd be ok with somebody filling a limit every trip though, there's other fish in the sea if you want taco makings.

I only keep them if they are between 14-16 inches and I plan on eating the meat that same day. If I am gonna freeze the meat then I dont really need it so they get released.
Since I usually fish the area in front of my house on Law St. so I dont have to drive I fish for and catch a lot of Calico bass, often 5-10 per trip. I usually keep 1 for lunch/dinner and then any other legals that get gut hooked or are not gonna make it.

I believe the limits for calicos should be 3, with an upper limit of 16 or 18 and a lower limit of 14.
well, that is my dos pesos,
