This is the EXACT reason that white bass are a mistake in Deer Creek. Everyone who has ever caught a decent wiper is hooked. But the reason that wipers get big is because their numbers can be controlled. And they can be controlled a HECK of a lot cheaper and easier than trying to raise feeder fish for an unlimited supply of white bass that cannot be stopped from spawning. Big white bass at 23 or 24 inches and over 4 pounds would be great. But you can't afford to even try to feed them enough to grow that big. Wipers on the other hand will grow that big and the numbers kept in check so that the food supply will allow good growth.
