Your thoughts on the stocking sound right to me. It takes hundreds of thousands of fry to start with in order to have one survive to be a 30''er I guess. Time, space, money--sounds about right.
Speaking of 30"ers, if those are eight-pound fish they would be more likely to measure 27-28 inches. If they are 30 inches they should weigh more like 11-12 pounds, but I'd sure be happy to catch any of those. I'm seriously thinking of heading to Mantua one day myself. Let me know if you decide to go and we can try to meet up if you'd like. What do you suppose those big cats would like to eat?

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
