My guess is the same as HSB, although they won't get as big. They are in some of the public lakes here and I haven't heard of one getting caught that was larger than 2#. But then again I haven't seen or heard it all! While they are supposed to need running water to spawn, I'm not 100% sure of that. There are some lakes here that don't have rivers feeding them, and the WB population is still there. I don't believe a single person illegally stocking them would be able to stock enough in a lake to make a catchable population without some reproduction.
