When we all fish,we all have different ideas of what a "short" fish is . They have different names,one of them being a "Dink"

Whats everyones criteria about LMB. How big does a fish have to be before it can stop being considered a "Dink"

In my mind id say 1-1.5# and at least 13 inches its no longer a "Dink"

Anything longer than the legal limit.

Any bass that is below the legal length to keep , is a dink in my book.

3lbs

3lbs

                           

Anything longer than the legal limit.

I say 14" and above

Anything thats on the end of my line when no one else is looking.

When I can't buy a bite.

The answer would depend on where you live.

If you live in California, Florida or Texas, I'd say about 17 inches.

But lets say you live in Tennessee, then anything over 12 might be a keeper.

Of course we'll never know for sure until Roadwarrior remembers his camera.

2 lbs, 4 is a good fish 5 is great anything over 6 is unheard of in my boat. :-/

When it becomes a squeeker.

Squeeker= a fish you have to double and triple check against the bump board before weigh-in.

Here in IL that would be 14".

How I would rate them:

<15" is a dink.

15"-17" is a decent fish.

18"-19" is a good one.

20"+ is a hawg.

hehe I like Rolo's answer, I live in NW indiana and Bass 2 Pounds and up make me happy.  Bet if I lived in texas, Cali or Flordia I would probally feel diffrent.

Hey I have fun catching bass whatever size 

13in and under is a dinker for me!

When it's the only fish of the day 

When is a dink no longer considered a dink?

As soon as it is released and your fishing buddy can't make you weigh him to PROVE he isn't a 5 pounder.

My local bass club rules say that a fish 10" or bigger is a keeper so a dink around here is under 10". Leaving aside that technicality, I don't get too worked up over a fish until it's 14" or larger.

It's all relative.

For me anything under 2lbs is a dink.  And recently thats all I can catch!!

There are only two possiblities for determining when a bass ceases to be a "dink".

The first being when it reaches some arbitrary size, be it length, girth, weight or whatever appropriate measure.

However when it is your personal best, a bass is no longer a "dink" even if it  does not meet the measuring standard.

;D ;D

;D that's funny there!

When that dink wins ya a $30,000 + dollar Skeeter and a Legend bass boat every year.   

When that dink gives you a shot a 3 Triton Tr 17's every year.

Thats 5 boats for the largest dinks caught every year at 3 great tournaments here on Lake Fork.
