Breeder males???? Umm majority of fish at 36" and bigger you catch is gonna be a female... Male bass dont get that big just to let you know you have the science backwards... In most other mammal communities the female is the bigger less attractive colored one... So keep in mind all the trophy bass caught are generally female....

!!!precisely!!! hence my mantra,,,,,,,,,,,,,

if they are under the size requirement,
then they are less likely to be kept, NO?

i am well aware of the SCIENCE m'man~~~
also, by restricting our bag limit to 1/day we could limit
the catch of the breeder FEMALES that tend to be over 36",,,,,,,,,,,,

but they have to be bred at some point, and most of those GUYS are in the 22" to 30" range, i'm guessing??? are you digging my science, now Islander77? besides,,,,,,,,,,most of the surfcasters who DO catch over 36" are avid C&R guys, since we KNOW just how important the Big Gurls are to our fishery.

last question~~~ since when did fish, become mammals?
