Bass legends Ray Scott and Bill Dance had preached the gospel of “harvest” to create a strong bass fishery in discussions before. On several occasions, I have witnessed the “before and after” results of a stunted bass population made strong by the practice of intelligent harvest.

Nice article, not sure I agree with everything mentioned though. What does this have to do with Lake Perris fish reports?

I agree with harvesting fish, but the fact of matter is pressure, Those midwest lakes do see the pressure of the socal lakes do. Fish and game does a decent job of establishing fish take limits based on the fishery. I have seen lake Perris limits change as the fishery changes, 2 fish @ 15", 5 fish @12 ", and back to 2 fish @ 15".
