So if I understand this correctly, a new BOW has one initial shot at producing not large, but trophy sized fish? And after that initial stocking, the best chance at further trophies will come from supplemental stockings of fish that have had, shall we say, a priveledged start, vs naturalized offspring born to fish of great genetics, in that BOW?

I hesitate to ask this, as surely I'm missing something here, but it sounds like you're saying genetics has little impact on producing trophy fish?

I don't want to appear blunt, or disrespectful to anyone, just want to make sure my limited grasp on the subject doesn't slip any further.


"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.
