brother, regardless of your age, you quality for a pin and state recognintion for that last bass you caught!!! the minimum weight i believe for the ADULT catagory if 6 for a largemouth.
According to the Trophy Fish Award rules anyone that is over 16 years of age is considered an adult. This is because anyone over 16 needs to buy a license. We are intending to add this clearification to the 2012 Angler's Guide.
Steven just remember to keep a tape measure with you if you are looking to turn in C&R trophys. I missed out on two last year for not having my tape and not wanting to keep the fish.

If bluefish were the size of bluefin, I would poison the whole ocean.
