Michigans catch-and-release bass season opens Saturday along with walleye, pike, muskie and inland trout seasons.
Indianas bass season never closes.
Michigans regular season opens the May 24.
During the catch-and-release period, anglers may fish for bass, but its illegal to string em up or put them in a livewell.
There could be a change coming next year. A bill in the Michigan Legislature would open the bass season year-round. The bill has passed the Senate and now sits in the House Natural Resources Committee.
