Thanks for the insight, I felt 5 lbs was tops due to personal experience, and guessed that the overstocking in a few cases, and over populating, coupled with short short season limited growth. But it is a numbers game as your references point out. Tons of factors.
That is why one year at Lambert lake I pulled 3, 3 lb Brookies out, and in following years can't top 12 inches and plentiful. Maybe the first encounter, there was only a handful of fish, all big. Subsequent years more smaller fish, but same mass. Tricky.
