It is my understanding that in FL largemouth bass (like sunfish/panfish) must be caught on a pole & line/rod & reel in order to keep the fish (even the small ones). Is this a correct interpretation?  Additionally, do the directions of "...can only keep one over 16 inches" apply only at acquisition or does it apply at any point in a captive setting?  Thanks.

yes i think you have to still use a pole, but you can keep it, my local bait store has one in an aquarium, i was concerned about her getting ticketed , but an fwc ranger gave her a copy of the new reg. and said her aquarium was okay

Interesting.  How big is the fish?  How big is the aquarium?  Any tank mates?
