All fish under 16 inches in length are legal.. once it hits the 16 inch mark, you better toss it back. The TPWD gamewardens tend to show up at the weigh ins sometime on this lake for tournament, and they are happy to write citations for illegal fish.. have two rulers in your boat.. close the mouth and measure..if you are still in doubt, use the courtesy board before you weigh in.. once you hand sack over, and they measure wrong.. then that fish is generally DQed..along with your heaviest fish.. Not Sure if Rockie is going to run it that way or not.. but that is typically what happensFish tend to shrink up after fighting them.. so if you get luck and stick an over.. bring her to the weigh in site ASAP.. or keep plenty of ice in you boat to keep those livewell cool.and if tht fish better be OVER 24 inches.. or else you breaky the rules.. Hope that helps
