Yep, that is correct. Yellow bass are listed as a game fish, which means you can not use as bait.

Agreed! Very tasty. I push my customers to keep them just to do my part for population control. It does read pretty clearly in the handbook but I talked to a game warden and let him know that yet I'd never tried it I was wondering and he quickly let me know that using them for bait in any way was a negative...

I would like to see sand bass (yellow bellies, yellow bass) classsified like blue gills. Maybe keep the 50 possession limit but allow them to be used as bait.
