Went out yesterday and got my first citation this year! Havent caught much of anything lately till this.

 

Woohoo, congratulations!! Nice fish.

Nice what lure?

Nice fish.  Congrats!!

"Havent caught much of anything lately till this."

 

 

 

 

Looks like a pretty good start to me. Congrats.

Way too go! Good fish and great scale!

Oh.. Nice shoes!.....lol!!

Fantastic! Where'd you catch her?

 

I pulled in a 22 1/4" 6.6 pounder in my avatar last fall at Lee Hall Reservoir (NNPK). One of many 6+ fish I've caught there.

 

My PB was at Harwood's Mill a couple years back.

Pretty work! My first citation this year was a recapture of the big girl in my avatar, 24" long, and even though I spend many days fishing that pond each year (only 3 acres), I very rarely catch her. Only once last year

Great Bass ~

 

Congrats !

 

A-Jay

Some states have a citation reward for fish caught exceeding certain set standards. Any fish over the weight or length minimum can be submitted for recognition by the state. Like infishermans master angler awards. Any fish exceeding the standard are referred to as citation fish whether you submit them or not.

Are Viginians considered yanks now?

Lord I hope not! but things are changing everyday.

Pardon me...... yank was a strong word to use.

 

it does seem more northern type folks use the word citation to describe a fish.... I am not meaning to lump in Ole Virginia.

 

why the use/meaning of citation in reference to a bass?

Virginia citation is a 22 inch bass or 8 pounder. 

 

Great fish by the way!!!!

do you get a citation from the governor? a phone call? plaque?

why is it called a citation?

 

I really want to know........22 inches or 8# is a heck of a fish.

22" 8lb fish? Wowser! 

 

My last 22.5 weighed 4.25.

Was it still alive?  That one had to be awful skinny!

You get a piece of paper (from the department of game and inland fisheries) I think, at least that's what I got for my north carolina citation cobia (have to be 40lbs, weighed 51lbs) and sea mullet (have to be 1.5lbs, weighed 2lbs). I don't get them in Virginia because it's 5 bucks to get that silly little piece of paper and I can buy a bag of plastics with that money

If your fish is long and skinny, measuring 22" or beyond, it's a citation.

 

If your fish is 18" and 8 lbs, it's also a citation. Dang fat lady there!

Weird. The word citation in most states is a ticket. Like a speeding ticket is called a citation. lol.
