So perhaps a put-and-take scenario for trophy LMB is not as farfetched as it sounds? I am curious though, as to what the "cutoff point" is on a stocked fish? In other words, how big do the stockers need to be before they can be considered potential trophy fish? Taking into account the other limiting factors referred to.

What do you want to see in a LMB before you would consider it a candidate for trophy status?


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
