Everytime I see theese big tiderunner pics I just want to vent about the 14 inch size limit. I know raising size limits is not a topic that everyone agrees with, but a big weakie like the one pictured above is one of the most beutifull fish God put on the planet. A 14 incher has about two tabelspoons of meat on it. Would many of you guys beef is the size limit was raised to 18 or 20 inches and what size limit do you think would create more awsome tiderunners?

Nice fish man. Way to put it to um. I would love to see alot more of those around. Thin k that weighed more then all the weakies I caught last year put together.

 

[Bass Media]

barrell, great point.
Any idea that puts larger fish on my lure is a good one.

Wow, what a fish! Nice.

20"s is the minimun size limit on my boat and most of the really big ones get released.

 

[BEACHBASSARD]

barrell got it wrigth.
20 in. should keep every one happy.

 

[Hardtop]

Haven't had one like that in a while. Great job!

12-13lbs, my guess. Male, yellow fins. Nice fish!!!

Barrell:
Yeah, the size limit for weaks is really pathetic. Do what they did for redfish, keep 2 or 3 fish within the slot limit between 15-25" or so, and release all the rest. Let the big spawning cows live, eat the more widespread younger fish. It'll never happen, though, as long as they are still a commercially fished species.

I used to keep weakfish only when between 18-22 inches.

You should have seen the look on guys faces in the spring when my buddies and I would be throwing back 7-8 lb weakfish.

The meat from the big ones I have always found to be mushy and doesn't freeze well.

The 18-22 inchers have firm fillets and are nice size.

 

[striperfrog]

i think they should raise the limit to 18ins minwill get bigger fish as the years go on

 

[aj bruno]

if they raise them to 18" for us rec guys will they do it for the commies? I would have to guess no.

 

[rgking03]

No matter how you look at it until they cut the commies off for good the fishing for weaks will always be hit and miss and then eventually gone.

By the way beautiful fish. Almost to nice to eat. I said almost.
