I assume you mean freshwater species, so, here you go.

Most states have a 14 inch minimum for largemouth, 12 for smallmouth and spotted bass. The above are actually just big sunfish.

For true basses, the striped bass has a 16 inch minimum.

The yellow and white basses have no minimum size in most areas.

As always, however, catch and release ensures plenty of sport for future generations, so let them go after catching them.

In most states, landlocked stripers have to be 16 inches. Ocean fish limits vary, from 14 to 21 inches to be harvested.
