Cecil, is the fishing pressure for the LMB the same as here too? Who knows, maybe those big LMB are here too, just too hook smart to bite?
But I think you may be on to something.
How do native/stocked trout fit into the mix? Are there more trout there too? Look at the LMB in California where they stock RBT in the reservoirs.....
They do stock trout heavily out there but in the lakes where they stock them here I still don't see the sizes they have out there.
They target bass out there too and tournaments like we do. I saw an odd night tournament (I was night fishing for trout and crappie) where they kept the bass they caught which I thought was strange.
Yes I believe that pressure on bass and their education after tournament catch and release here can be a factor, but it seems there has to be more to the equation out east. Maybe the fact that a state a third of the size of Indiana has 5000 lakes and reservoirs could be a factor?
