I don't think you can take this data and make anything official of it.  It's voluntary and shows it was only utilized by anglers who had knowledge of the program.  I see images of trout caught and released on FB, esp fish caught wading below the dam, that are not part of these numbers.  It may though give an indication of numbers of lunkers in Taneycomo during specific periods.

I like where those numbers are headed.  I'm not saying this out of arrogance just being honest in saying that 20 inches are becoming normal enough I know I quit getting certificates and I suspect many others are doing the same so you gotta think the numbers are even better which is assounding!

Same here. I’ve only turned in two or three and we’ve boated 10-12 in the past year. I had two last weekend, the 22” brown Friday and another bow that was probably 21” in the tourney.
