2022 BASS RULE CHANGES FOR OKLAHOMA, YOUR THOUGHTS?
Watch the above presentation from Northeast Region Fisheries Supervisor Josh Johnston on the rule changes.
This year, the Wildlife Department’s Fisheries Division has made a rule change allowing anglers to keep smaller, more abundant largemouth and smallmouth bass while limiting the harvest of larger bass. The rule removes the 14-inch minimum length limit from lakes and reservoirs and allows anglers to keep only one bass greater than 16 inches daily. Biologists anticipate a positive impact on the overall quality of Oklahoma’s black bass populations.
Watch above as Cliff Sager, a Senior Fisheries Biologist from the Southcentral Region, shares why anglers should "keep a bass".
