5/29/2018 6:14:34 PMNice fish! " I ended up with four other smallies all nice sized between 14-17" but would have gladly traded for the one."--- don't feel too bad, the 3 (or 4) you released back in will be that size in a few years also.... Unless this rule doesn't apply to Lake WA; "SmALLmOUTH BASS:
(See DOH advisory, page 16)
No min. size. Only 1 SMALLMOUTH BASS
over 14" may be retained. Daily limit 10.
Bass may be caught, retained, and released
alive from a livewell until a daily limit is in
possession." Notice the mercury advisory also; https://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01914/2017-18_statewide_freshwater.pdf
F&G warned me when I took my son out in my 9' dinghy, all occupants need to wear a PFD at all times in boats under 16' in length. Rules really changed since I fished last (1965)...lol. Good catch...
