If you take a xxinch fish when its xxinches it never grows to maturity and is dead kinda rendered useless it would never spawn now i also belive that some opinions want the slots back b.c they cant catch a bass over the 28in mark i typicaly dont eat them but im sure the little ones have to taste better than the big red meated cows but whats guna happen right off the gate is a thousand people will catch a thousand fish and bam its a mess
The theory behind the slot fish is you're not killing the big breeders that are loaded with eggs.

When we had the 1 fish at 24-27.999" and one over 28" the stock was in pretty good shape - I would hope we go back in this direction also.

Dan, Fred add me to the list! Another +1
