Incredible Weights - BPF Tournament

[Phil Lilley]

The board says it all...

I'll elaborate when I get more time.

I just saw this on your Facebook page. Goodness gracious a bunch of really really nice ones and several big jumbos! Looks like they whacked some big ones in practice Friday as well. I can't wait to get down in a couple weeks!

Are some of those fish brood stock released down by the MDC ramp below the landing? I know they do that at certain times. 

[Phil Lilley]

No- didn't see a broad stock fish all week.  All those fish were stocked at 11ish inches.

That is pretty freaking awesome and darned exciting. Goodness your Facebook the last 2 days have had some amazing rainbows this week!

Couple pictures from the last couple days off Facebook. Credit lilleys page and Eric prey. Pretty easy to see the hot spot.  Crazy how these 2 pictures are lined up almost perfectly in the same spot. They both have stubby noses but they sure aren't the same fish.  Trout Hollow had a nice rainbow on their page this morning as well. The lake is exploding with quality fish this week no doubt.

Ideas on the surge of bigger fish? more food, less catch and keep pressure? more dissolved O2?

No idea

That is wild. We are lucky to see more than just a couple of rainbows over 3# in the four winter tourneys. Were any of the big fish browns or was it all rainbows?

[MoCarp]

didn't the state say they thought of experimenting with  the idea with stocking less fish? or did so by necessity because of the flooding and showed a spike in fish growth? was a thread on that a while back
