Larger sized HSB of the 12"-15" size are not common and probably quite rare in most states. Sunil is very, very fortunate to have a supplier for the 12"-15" fish. Locating a source within an 8 hr drive of MN is very likely difficult. The most likely way to find these larger fish for stocking would be to locate an aquaculture grower of HSB for the food market. HSB in the 6"-8" size range are easier to find but still not all that common. Are HSB even allowed in water of MN by the DNR?

When do you guys want this thread archived? Now or after activity has subsided?
