 Well, the Minnesota DNR says Anglers will only be able to keep three bass this year on Malax Lake instead of four beginning May 27th. According to the DNR, the change is to help protect the fish and harvest opportunity. Anglers will be able to keep any combination of smallmouth and largemouth bass, but all bass between 17 and 21 inches must be released immediately.
