Actually, I liked the less complicated, easier to understand explantion...Lol.

I guess by going with the lower number of say 25 fish for the first stocking you kinda of in a way get the best of both worlds as long as you do in fact have the predicted successful reproduction of the SMB. Have the best chance for truly large fish with the first stocking and get to catch a large amount of fish after they reproduce...

Shorty, why do you say the first stocking of SMB will likely be tough to catch? Because there will be so few or because they will get educated quickly and become hook shy?
