7/24/2012 8:43:00 AMHow long was the bass? If the largest crappie is 12" that bass must be around 15"-16"? FYI there is a slot limit on bass. You are allowed to keep fish under 12" and only one fish a day over 17" - not saying your breaking the rules, but it looks fishy...

7/25/2012 9:10:00 AMThe lake has special rules for crappie, but all other species are under the states general freshwater rules which has the slot limit for largemouth bass mentioned in post #1. Never rely on word of mouth, pick up a rules book, they are free and widely available anywhere you can purchase your license.

7/25/2012 1:16:00 PMThe Game Warden up there will be a lot nicer to you if you turn yourself in, as opposed to someone else on the site doing it! You've clearly dug yourself a hole by admitting to retaining a bass in the slot limit which doesn't sit well with the numerous bass anglers on this site.

7/26/2012 6:50:00 AMWa lake fisherman, the guy simply made a mistake. Yes I agree on what everyone is saying. The bass isn't one u can keep. Never rely on word of mouth, best thing to do is look in the handbook when in doubt.

7/26/2012 8:32:00 AMChad, lighten up.
If you were driving 40 mph because you honestly believed it was the speed limit, would you turn yourself in if you passed a sign that said the speed limit was actually 25?

7/26/2012 9:49:00 AMI happen to agree with the last 2 posts. It would be different if he had posted a photo of a dozen 15 inch bass. I think the majority would say it is better to educate, which is what we are trying to do, rather then punish.

hurry and go tell the game warden. That was funny. Game warden will look at the one bass that looks to be almost 17inches and give you a slap, they don't hurt, and tell you to read the rules and never rely on word of mouth. Chad, who is at the police station reporting his day of oopses and now yours, treat others as you would want to be treated.
Cassidy make sure you read the regs on what you fish or hunt for, if you don't understand them call WDFW to get the right answer. Making a mistake on one bass or crappie or trout is not to bad, learn and move on.
5 bass a day limit, 12" and under or one 17" and over.
side note: keep the big ones in the lake they help repopulate, carry a camera and eat the small ones
