[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 435439, member: 13702"] CT last I looked was similar to CA (imagine that?) with a 12" minimum and 6 fish limit on lakes & no size limit on streams & rivers but still the same 6 fish limit. CT does have certain bodies of water designated as "Bass Management" lakes which have protected slots (usually 12" - 16" or 18") that you cannot keep fish in that size from, as well as a limit of 1 bass over the slot size. The idea is to keep the consumption to the immature fish (under 12") - but I honestly don't think there are that many people keeping bass, and the ones who do (we call them the bucket brigade in polite circles) aren't exactly the type that buy fishing licenses, read english, or obey any conservation postings/laws anyway. The slot limit makes sense, does anyone else know of a lake where they've done such a thing but that people actually take the juveniles & thereby reduce the competition of the mature bass for prey? If done correctly I would think the growth rates of the larger bass would be higher than surrounding areas. [/QUOTE]
