Everyone who bitched about that pic with the pile of bass on a headboat deck got their wish

[Dino]

we'll just have to take the sweet dock photo with only 1 huge breeder bass per guy now.. seems crazy.. how will we go on?!

[ScowardNJ]

Has anyone confirmed that this is NJ only or the whole coast? Hearing mixed info out there...

[Leif]

I haven't heard any confirmation yet but I truly wish they would leave the regulations the way they are at this point.

Let nature take it course, wipe 'em out and go on to the next species until they come back again in 10 or 20 years. This way I can go back to fishing in peace by myself from the jetty or beach and be happy when I get one or two keepers a year for the chowda!

Sick of the whole thing.

"nature" wont take its course if people put back the big bass... just because the limit is one bass over 28" doesnt mean you need to keep a 40" bass... its not like a 28" bass is a small fish. shake my head.

[Suckafish]

So is it official that you can only keep one bass??? And does this go into affect for the fall or starts next year

I was being sarcastic... I don't think you should kill any of those big ones and 1at 28in is enough given the huge increase in recreational fishing for them. It's supposed to be a game fish right?
