Last summer in PA, I was getting skunked on bass until my kid caught a tiny yellow perch. On a whim, I threw it back out as live bait and BOOM - 3-pound smallmouth! Spent the rest of the trip crushing bass with live perch. Plot twist: I just learned this trick is actually illegal in states like Minnesota. You can keep 20 perch to eat, but can't use even one as bait. Wild, right? Always assumed if you could catch it, you could use it. What's the weirdest fishing rule you've discovered in your state? #fishing #bassfishing #livebait #fishingtips #outdoors
