Selecting to stock HBCP have resulted in robust fish for me - average size after 4 years is 13", and several over 15" have been caught. So far, no population management issues to report. They have worked out very well in my fishery, and serve as another BG population management device.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
