Just a heads up, I got mine in the mail today and was reading an  article on table rock and they said blacks and small mouth 15'' and spots 12''. Don't think spots can be 12'' to keep Am i right on that thx

That last time I checked it was 15 for all. But heck I could be wrong.

Spots are were lowered to 12 on most MO lakes; I believe Bull and Norfork included, but TR is still 15.

They need an editor really bad.

As the other guys above have mentioned, the minimum length limit (MLL) for spotted bass on Table Rock is 15 inches on the Missouri Side.

I suspect the writer looked at the Arkansas Regulations. On the Arkansas side of Cricket Creek on TR, the MLL for spotted bass is 12 inches.

The MLL for spotted bass on Bull Shoals and Norfork have been 12 inches since the early 90's.

I happen to know a pretty good one.

But if it's that Game and Fish Publications group out of Atlanta, they place no value on quality. They pay very little for articles and pretty much just slap them on the page as-is, usually with some file photos, and send it to the pressroom.

My guess is that you are SPOT on.

And now it's officially pun and double entendre day on OAF .
