Great thoughts. IMO that same thinking and philosophy applies to many other cultured fish species such as sunfishes including BG, YP, crappie, SMB, WE, CC, BC, trouts and numerous other sportfish. The trend that Bob saw with LMB in Lake Fork will also probably apply to the trophy sized fish now in Richmond Mill Lake which is a relatively newly stocked fishery. Now the question at hand is, how does one maintain a trophy class fishery for the long term? Is "nature' working for or against us producing trophy fish. And what do we do to counter act the 'natural' trend toward a predominace of smaller or mediocre sizes?
