I don't necessarily think so Walt. A good number of the BG will attain trophy size. BTW, I consider a 9" BG a trophy. Others may not.

Lots of people think that big BG and big bass are mutually exclusive. I don't.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
