No Cull Rule on Mille Lacs

[SwimbaitChucker]

Will be removed via Commissioner order soon, will be announced in the next week or two.

Per my source in the DNR with knowledge of the situation.

Not sure what you are making reference to here Chucker ??  No cull on what ??  Every species in general ?? Or are we just talking bass. ??

Let the Mille Lacs bass tournament mayhem begin! Muahaha

In MN there is a no culling law not just on mille lacs. MN does not allow any culling but most tournaments just "look the other way"... I remember a couple years ago one of the flw guys, I believe he was even leading the tourney, got DQed for making a cull on the Minnesota side of the river.

I could be wrong, but I'm almost positive the 'No Cull' rule is only in effect on certain bodies of water such as Mille Lacs and the border waters OR when you have reached your daily possession limit. In MN and a lot of states, the limit is 6 bass. For tournaments, they usually go with 5 fish so you are not at your daily possession limit yet and can still cull.

Your right Muskie Fever and it was a B.A.S.S. Tournament with Brandon Palanuik not FLW.  But there was a kerfuffle with lower level FLW tournament when a woman angler got singled out a few years before that.

As I read it you still cannot cull your one over 18. This will not draw any national tournaments. You can only cull your under 18 inch fish. B.A.S.S. and FLW will not be interested in a tourney with 4 fish under 18 and one over 18 and you cannot cull the one over fish. Another joke of a rule.

Culling has been legal on all waters except Mille Lacs and Border Waters.
