I thought spots were no minimum length?

When did they change the rule?

I think the 12" is a typical tournament rule. It doesn't appear to be a lake or state limit.

The combined limit for any combination of largemouth, smallmouth, Guadalupe and spotted bass is 5 fish per day.

That's a good looking paint job on that lure. I'm always impressed by your work.
