Re: Not clear on the bass rule change
Good observation about the bonus tag. I'm sure that was not even considered when the vote went down. It will certainly be considered before this is finalized. Don't expect that bonus fish to be 28" however! " Honest officer, I caught and released my second fish ( a 45 incher) and this 28" fish is my bonus fish. See, here's my bonus tag from the state". Once the council sees the problem, there will be changes. I don't see how they can continue the bonus program and hold to the idea of reducing the harvest. The option as it is now is still 2 fish at 28" plus a 28+" bonus fish until the regs are finalized. This debate will be a good one to watch. There are great captains and fishermen on this site and this issue could have been avoided if the council would have considered running it past the rank and file first.
