[quote FishingLunatic]Dude it takes a year or more for a fish to grow even a few inches. When you go fishing one day and take home some monster fish, that just created a year or more times worth required for some medium-large fish to get to that point. Not to mention that the one that's going to "fill" the others larger size some day would get to be that big anyway! As far as lakes like Jordanelle are concerned, none of us know what's going on. A) Maybe big ones are in there and people just aren't catching them. B) Maybe people are keeping to many bigger ones and like i've already explained it takes substantial amounts of time for them fish to grow to that size.
New lakes have nice fish at the beginning because they usually stock them with larger ones. Lakes like the the Boulder Mountains have crap loads of fish dude. Going into winter before winter kill occurs, there's TONS of fish. It's a matter of survival of fittest meaning who was able to find the deepest part of the lake with the best oxygen quality and the best feed.
But Ya go ahead and keep keeping that monster one and telling yourself one will get to that point in no time at all.[/quote]
I thought this statement was a joke but it's almost like you actually believe what you say.
