Coming back from Lake Lanier my buddy Wes called me and said,' Theres this lake in Georgia that has this rule; if you catch a fish under 14 pounds its gotta go back. I was like," Say what, repeat that please I quite didnt hear that correctly, you are out of your everlasting mind. He chuckled and said,' Bruh Im foreal." I replied saying,' Fisherman are the best liers none to planet earth." He started laughing and stated, I will take you to this lake. " I said then what are we waiting for?'

What do you think?

Keep Lines Tight and dont exagerate- J.W.

uhhh i dont know about that, maybe but id have to see it to believe it

If you catch a fish UNDER 14 pounds, then its gotta go back? DUH. That's because it's a catch and release only lake. Meaning there are no fish over 14 pounds, so all fish you catch must be returned to the water, thus promoting catch and release.

Maybe he meant to say 14 inches instead of 14 pounds. I could see that. Either that or its a Catch and Release lake like Bassn Blvd

Don't hold your breath in anticipation.

Uh . . . 14 inches.

Can't hurt......just go and see what is in there. Seems odd though because not everyone carries a scale with them to weigh their catches.

Bruh Im foreal."

That made me chuckle.

It's 14".

For real.

It's 14".

For real.

For sur bruh JW welcome to the site. 14" is a pretty standard regulation, BUT many lakes are what they call site specific. Check the DNR regs before you head out.

I've been fishing Georgia my whole life and have written an unpublished book on all the small public lakes in the state. I have never heard of a lake like that. There are a few public lakes where a 14lb bass is possible but not one where it's the norm.

Well, that was a "different" read.

I agree.....You is crazy.

On the Tennessee River, we expect all smallmouth bass under 12 pounds to be released.

That's so they can be used as bait when they grow up.

I agree. Smalies under 12lbs don't taste that good. Once they hit the 12lb mark, with a little lemon butter, mmm mmm good!

LOL

hahaahaha this is too much. probably a simple miscommunication. 14 incher is reasonable, our jersey waters have a 12 inch minimum on most lakes and a 15 inch minimum on "trophy lakes"
