SUBJECT: catch&release only?

Submitted by Carolyn (198.211.138.89) from OHIO on

My son and I are novice bass fishermen. We bought an identification guide which says largemouth bass are catch & release only. We live, and bought this guide, in Ohio, but are planning to vacation in Minnesota, where we hope to eat our catch while camping. What's the scoop?

   There may be a few places that are catch and release only, but I think most places aren't. You'll have to check with Minnesota Fish and Wildlife to see what the rules are there.

   But no matter what the rules are, I prefer catch and release. Let them go to catch them another day. --Karen
