Bill I don't believe there are any statewide size limits on any fish - there are plenty that are water-specific but nothing that I'm aware of that would limit by size across our 'great' state.

Correction - I just went and read the 2015 regs...there's a statewide reg on Walleye and Sauger on size. You can't take a Walleye or Sauger less than 14". Even on your own property.

That might be an interesting conversation if that law was attempted to be enforced on my property.
