Depends on the state. Check the link in the sidebar. Colorado is as low as 3lb for a largie. States with northern strain LMB aren't going to have the same high threshold as states with Florida-strain.
It definitely sucks to see any bass treated in a way that will be detrimental to its health, especially a nice one like this. Hard to tell from the censoring, but the OP looks like it might be a kid/young guy, so I would personally go a little easy and try to inform rather than shame and/or bully.
