Advisory: Limit eating Oregon freshwater bass due to mercury
This trophy smallmouth bass was caught (and released) on the John Day River, where there no longer are limits on bass of any size. The Oregon Health Authority suggests limiting consumption of bass caught anywhere in Oregon.

The Oregon Health Authority issues advisory about freshwater bass consumption just months after the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife removes all limits on bass and other species caught in the Columbia, John Day and Umpqua rivers.
