What would you qualify as a "dink" 2024
Quinn reply :
I finally have a pic for my avitar with me and a "keeper" sized bass (MO law min. 12").
It was 13" may be 1 lb.
Caught in a private lake, and I release all fish there.
I look really happy and I was! This is not what I am after (5+ lbs some day) but I caught some bass.
What do you all qualify as a "dink" Length or weight considered???
P.S. Sorry I such an ugly sum buck

12-18" Slot limits have changed my nomenclature a little. Now a dink is <8-9", a "keeper" (to be eaten) is 9-12". Everything else is C & R.
Joel W reply :
under 12 inches and or less then 1 lb.
Raul reply :
Anything under 3 pounds is a dink.

Beat me to it.
I was gonna paraphrase Low_Budget and say by definition anything Burley catches. ;D
bass wrangler569 reply :
Anything under the legal minimum, or a fish that is legal, but really small for that particularly lake.

My personal definition of a dink is anything under 5 pounds.

A bass is a bass.
The Rooster reply :
For me, I consider anything below 12" to be a dink because that's the legal size limit for my state in KY, but the 4 local lakes I fish ALL require 15" keeping sizes. I still call a 12 incher a keeper.......but I always wondered what everyone else would think of this. Guess I know now.
Hey, it'd be different if I caught anything over 14" consistantly but all last year I only had one fish on I KNOW was a keeper........and it came unbuttoned at boatside. :'(
Ky_Lake_Dude reply :
Around here most lakes its a 15in size limit so to me a dink is anything less than that

No offense given here, but wow! I live in Florida and fish mostly small lakes and ponds pretty unpressured and I would consider a dink anything less than 2 lbs,and thats high for some of the tournament guys who just need to barely make the length limit.
How many 5 lb bass can be caught in Kentucky a year?I used to live in Ohio and you'd be lucky to get 1-3 a year LOL
Bankbeater reply :
A fish so small that some wiseguy asks if that is your trailer.
John J. reply :
A true dink is whatever the size the individual fisherman defines it as. IMO, a dink is anything that:
1.) Skids across the water when I am reeling it in,
2.) Is only a few inches bigger than the lure I am using,
3.) Has a mouth that I can't even put one finger in it!
In a tournament, a dink is defined as a fish that doesn't have a big affect on your total weight in the tournament.

QuoteDam It No Keepers ;D
;D LBH pretty well summed it up.I think a keeper bass is a legal bass.Here it's 14'' to be legal.Anything under i would consider dinks.
