Pottsy -- I don't know!! Your white-tails are bigger up north, right??? :-)
Seriously, I remember my first job as a fisheries biologist in KS. Just after I got there, I went fishing on one of the gorgeous, small (100 acres) impoundments that I was assigned to manage. About my second cast with a small floating rapala, just twitching it on the surface, I caught a darn 12 inch golden shiner. Couldn't even believe it.
I've been stocking 6-8 inch goldens up here, which are as big as we can buy from the bait dealers. I don't think I've even seen a 10-incher as a result of our stockings.
