Yes the article is good, and I also found out that in Oklahoma all wildlife is considered property of the state.
And unless the pond owner has receipts and can prove the fish in the pond were purchased, the state length, bag or possession limits apply.
I completely disagree with this as I am sure many others due since it seems to be fairly typical to have a pond get overcrowded with LMB.
We all know that these need to be harvested but since it would be illegal to keep them all (since you did not purchase last years spawn), you have to throw them back.
I guess another option would be to toss them on the bank, but to me that seems like a waste when one could clean them for a meal.
Anyway that is my 2 cents.
