[cool][blue][size 1]Hey Cat_Man and Mr. X, there's no doubt the whites in Pleasant are decent sized. I have taken them up to almost 4 pounds...and the newly introduced stripers in there are getting to be almost 20 pounds now.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]But, it might interest you guys to know that in the early sixties...during my first years fishing Utah...I caught quite a few whites out of Utah Lake over 2 pounds. The last October I was there I fished in the deep pools of the Provo River between the little bridge and the river outlet and caught several whites over 3 pounds. They seemed to run in cycles, with years of bigger fish and other years of dinks. Same with the walleyes. Most of it was related to how the carp spawn came off and how many carp minnows made it into the food chain. That's what I caught all my biggest whites on...carp minnows frozen from the spring spawn and fished dead in the fall.[/size][/#0000ff]
