Yea they were on the small side for the tournament but other ppl would have kept them cuz like i said THERE IS NO LIMIT.

sure there isn't a limit for bass. but like i said the river isn't HOT right now for big fish! and like i said earlier people are reporting catching fish, just small fish! IDK if you plan on fishing any tournaments other then the highschool ones but the 11 inch limit is in most tournaments.

idk where you brought in commercial fishing from since you cant commercial fish for bass this is what you can commercial fish for in freshwater-
