The black bass catch-and-keep season applies to most streams south of the Missouri River for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted or Kentucky bass and runs from May 28 to Feb. 28, 2017. Anglers may catch these species legally all year, anywhere in the state. They may keep legal-sized bass caught from impoundments all year long, statewide. In most of the state's waters, the daily limit on black bass is six, with a possession limit of 12. Black bass taken from streams must be at least 12 inches long in most areas. Additional specific regulations may apply to specific waters or areas. Anglers must have a valid fishing permit or be exempt.Get more information on bass fishing from MDC's 2016 Summary of Missouri Fishing Regulations, available where permits are sold, or online at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fishing/species/black-bass.
