Notice the 'green horn' designation under my name haha....

What are all of these terms you're using? I'm obviously new to fishing, but what is an under, the slot, an over...?

Are you referring to the keeper minimum length?

on some lakes in Texas their are slots limits from 14 inches to 24 inches. Some are different and some just have a min. of 14 inches.
An under you can weigh in or keep it and an over the same thing. Anything in that slot you have to throw back.

Athens is a slot lake.

This means there is a slot of fish that you can't keep.

An over is a fish OVER 21" on Athens

An under is a fish UNDER 14" on Athens

Fish from 14" to 21" can not be kept on Athens.

Only 1 fish over 21" can be kept on Athens.

So in a non BBFT you could keep 4 under's and 1 over OR 5 unders.

This can differ from lake to lake and not all lakes are slot lakes. Just look it up on TPWD to get more info.

I started writing that about 10 minutes ago and then got an email from my boss. Didn't realize the question had already been answered.
