...how old were those huge brookies?.....nice work...
I get them as one year olds at 8 to 10 inches and will have up to 19 inch fish one year later, although most run in the 16 to 18 inch range by then. This cycle I hope to get them into the mid 20's and 6 pound plus fish as 3 year old fish. My biggest was over 6 lbs.
