even the 12 inchers weighed over a pound, they were fat as could be, spitting up orange craws everywhere

Impressive fish totals there.  Looks like some really nice ones were caught.  Looks like a few are starting to get the spawn colors going as well, my favorite time of year. 

Wish I coulda made it down.  Maybe this weekend... Twisting my arm with all of these solid fish being caught!

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?

No browns.  One 21-inch on Friday.

Brown/burnt orange jigs... yes!

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

They will stock less rainbows next year.  Cut by about 15% I think.
