It’s a county water reservoir.
State regulations on size and limits , 12” LM bass , no size limit on anything else .
Creel limits , 10 LM , Crappie 30, Bluegill 50 , total daily limit is 50 . IMO I think it’s time the state looked at changing its regulations and enforcing them .

Get caught without a permit ya get the fine. Get caught without you enough times a man can lose his fish and game privileges.

It's amazing to think that a fish that can lay up to 20000(Twenty thousand) per year could ever be over fished. Maybe they moved.dono

I agree . They even eat their young .

As do other fish. Most probably don't make it past the fingerling stage.

Good video on odds of a double digit bass. Gives you some idea. Link starts when he gets into the numbers. Worth watching the entire thing.

They do if there is nothing there to eat them.
