Good points and well said. They sure fight well. Just about the only fish that reminds me of a wiper is a drum.
You are right to they can get big. 20-25lbs or bigger even.
I see your point I can't think of one lake in Utah that could really use them. They could replace white bass in a lake like Utah Lake... they would probably do very well there but that is the last thing UL needs now. They are also an excellent bait/food source for flatheads but Utah doesn't have any of these awesome critters either.
I have a lake about an hour from me up here in Wyoming....full of them in the 2-3lb range (Drum). Fun fun.
