The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds anglers that the 2020 Black Bass season opens May 23, the Saturday before Memorial Day.
Anglers may catch-and-keep black bass, such as largemouth, smallmouth, spotted/Kentucky bass, May 23 through Feb. 28, 2021, in most streams south of the Missouri River.
Black bass can be caught and released legally throughout the year anywhere in Missouri, and legal-sized bass may be kept all year long from impoundments statewide. In most state waters, the daily limit on black bass is six.
