- Limit shall be 5 bass (largemouth, small mouth or Kentucky spotted bass) with a minimum length of 14”.

- Dead fish will be weighed but a 1/2-pound penalty will be subtracted per dead fish.  No fish will be weighed if the fish appears mangled, mashed or stringer kept.  Short fish will not be weighed.
