One-Over Length Bag Limits – For some species, the number of large fish that may be harvested
may be limited on some or all waters. For example, while it may be legal to harvest four black bass
more than 15 inches from a given lake, statewide regulations prohibit an angler from harvesting
more than one black bass 21 inches or longer each day from any waters. Therefore, for lakes with a
21-inch minimum length limit on black bass, the daily bag limit becomes one fish.
