Ewest -- I heard it from some of the Illinois Natural History Survey biologists. Same crew that really increased the recognition of the bluegill cuckoldry. Don't know if anything is in print or not. Will find out next week after we get back from the AFS meeting in Ottawa.

Bruce -- will see if I can get some "hard" documentation and not just this speculation.

Theo -- I never said it was true. \:\) I have seen some instances where it seems to make sense -- like when you still produce 10.5 inch bluegills, but they are longer (like in one of our nearby lakes that is large, shallow, and no plants).
