On February 11,2016 the FWC approved the revision to the black bass length that can be possessed. Starting on July 1, 2016 you can only possess one bass over 16" long in a five bass limit. This will eliminate the one bass over 22" long. This will also make it almost mandatory that a permit will need to be acquired prior to each tournament. We will need to revise our by-laws to reflect this new requlation. All new regulations including this one can be reviewed on the FWC web site under new regulations.
