Happy hunting.
Edit: remember only 2 in a 24hr period and must be over 40cm by law.
In reality try to shoot one over 45cm and also try not to keep killing the big un's. They are big because they are genetically superior to smaller fish that have dies out over the years. The future of bass stocks rely on these 'super breeders' so try to take average sized fish where possible.
