Many fish are being caught that are heavy double digit but don't make the 24" Should these fish be kept in the lake to reproduce. Personally I would love to catch and 11 or 12lber regardless of the length What is your opinion??????????? John K Fontenot Diapers and Politicians need to be changed often; and for the same reason.

I think the upper end of the slot should remain at 24" and the lower end should be raised to 18" on Fork.

(Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.
