13" and under dink. 13"+ keeper

I define a dink as to the set up of the rod.    Obviously, if you have 100 lb braid and a grass rake for a rod with a 10 inch swim bait and the bass is ten inches thats a dink.

So I think type of rod and setup and the lake you are on determines if its a dink.

After all, at the Classic in Pittsburg, it appeared to be a dink a thon.

On Fork, a 3 lber is a chunk, but close to being a dink!!!!!!

"Wow that eeis small.  See I was not expecting anything less than ten, or eleven inches."

-Ladies Man

Fishing on the Marsh it doesn't take long before my clients start calling 3 and 4 pounders dinks.

However:

Hand in hand with catching this 10.5 beauty:

LOL Cart7.  I guess if some havent met dink they just wouldnt understand your post.

I agree with Jigman.  Anthing that skids across the water.  I crank pretty fast too.  So it takes a decent fish not to skid.

Under 14 inches

A "dink" in South Florida is a trophy bass in Illinois. :-/

I would say a dink is anything under the legal size.

It's 12" here in Massachusetts

Don't hear the term dink too much, it's usually always "rats". Maybe it is a RI thing. But anyway a rat or dink is anything under a pound and a half, b/c a pound an a half fish is usually the average fish up here.

LOL.  That was good.   And then she says  "uh oh, sorry daddy"

Any bass under 1.5lbs.

I took an average of the last 10 dinks I caught, added their weight together and divided by 10. The average was still a dink. LOL

A "dink" is any bass that my wife catches, no matter what it weighs ;D ;D

What I normally catch.

A keeper LM here is 15"...anything smaller is a "dink" or "slick"...something that gets your lure before the big ones do and a pain in the @$$!

the sense of Humor here is great !!!!! ;D

this is also a dink !!

my fishing partner---

when we pull up to the hot spot and he cast's into the tree on the shore on the 1st cast & we have to run the boat to shore and ruin the spot before I even cast out !!!

and not that I ever do that !!

:

I consider anything Burley catches a dink.

When a bass has eyes that are ½ or less apart; we call them tight-eyes  

Does this one qualify?

Last dink that I hard waz JD on the rocks. hic-hic-hiccup ;D

Last dink that I caught was a fish that's less than 12".
