I finally have a pic for my avitar with me and a "keeper" sized bass (MO law min. 12").

It was 13" may be 1 lb.

Caught in a private lake, and I release all fish there.

I look really happy and I was! This is not what I am after (5+ lbs some day) but I caught some bass.

What do you all qualify as a "dink" Length or weight considered???

P.S. Sorry I such an ugly sum buck

A keeper is a keeper, it still counts as one in the live well! That 5+ lbs is coming, keep it up!

Any fish that fall below the legal length as defined by your state fishing laws.

here a dink is 12 inches. we catch alot of em lol. look at the footage from the bassmasters classic on the pittsburgh rivers, it was bad

Any fish that fall below the legal length as defined by your state fishing laws.

Exactly. And a super dink is smaller than your 4" Senko.

In Texas anything smaller than 5 pounds is considered a dink.

lol, jk

Seriously though, a dink is shorter than 12 inches in my opinion.

Dink....

anything that doesn't go in my livewell...in that case, in my club...n e thing less then 13 inches is a dink...when fun fishing....all is good

If we are in the same boat If you caught it :DINK, if I caught it :NICE FISH

Dink....

You are holding it too close.  That is an Orlando Wilson 6lbr.

By definition....

DINK: See "Tin's" livewell.... ;D

I have won tourney's with 5 "dinks" thank you. 8-)

D.I.N.K  = dual income no kids

I no longer qualify

to me a dink is under 12"...

really most people would consider a dink to be anything less than the local limit.  For instance, you ask a fellow fisherman getting off the lake what he caught.  He responds I caught 5 dinks and a couple keepers.  I would assume that meant he caught 5 under the local limit of say 12 inches and a couple over, but nothing too spectacular, or he would have gave them specifics such as a 20 incher or 5 lber.  really it just depends on where your at or who you talk to, but I would say thats the most prevalent.

Dam It No Keepers ;D

Anything I catch... :-[

Well, Jessica Alba certainly doesn't fall into the "dink" category, IMO:o) Ahgagagaga!!!

Any fish under legal limit size, EXCEPT in TEXAS and ALASKA:o)

A dink?  This is the 1st question I always ask my date.

this is a dink

We call em tight-eyes because their eyes are real close together & that would be anything under a pound.

I was fishing at night one time, and caught a fish that was so small, I didn't know it was there until I reeled my line all the way in.  I guess that would qualify as a "dink". ;D

Dink:

My fishing partner and I call them "Tournament Fish,"  

anything under 3 lbs.

Oww, you are so cruel

Most memorable dink I ever caught was about 10 years ago casting at the shoreline in front of some house when I hooked into a really small bass.  The old man who lived there walked out on his porch and yelled down - "whatcha got there, boy? ... crappy?"  I don't know if he really couldn't tell or if he was just messing with me but I replied "no sir, it's a bass."  He kinda squinted his eyes and in a thick southern accent he says "big-un's are deep!" and walked away.  

My fishing parter loved that story and ever since the old man's statements have been standard catch phrases on my boat.
