I was thinking the same thing this weekend. I fish a conservation pool that is full of stunted bass, but every year I catch a couple of 6 lb'ers. This lake has plenty of food. I believe
the stunted bass must carry this on to the next generation. In a days fishing I might catch 50, 8 to 12 inch fish. I might catch 2, 3 lbers per year from this lake. The bigger fish are real chunky and don't look at all like the long skinney stunted bass. I wouldn't want the stunted genes in my pond.
