I posted last year about Bass size being aprox 16 inches. Pretty close to 41 Cms. Got shot down by someone who I thought was an expert on these things, Now i know there is no such thing.

re: Bass size limit

Following a public consultation and lengthy
delay - on the 10th August, Defra announced
that the minimum landing size for bass
(Dicentrarchus labrax) is to be increased.
From April 6, 2007, commercial fishermen and
anglers will not be allowed to take bass any smaller
than 40cm. The current limit is 36 cm (37.5cm in
Cornwall and South Wales).
