I agree. I have been dragging a 15" hand-carved AC-plug around, hoping Lucy will come play. I wouldn't mind seeing my name in the record books...

I remember reading somewhere that biologists have stated that Lake Mead and Lake Mojave could support fish over 70 lbs. Now with gizzard shad present that might be even more likely.

Lack of forage is all that is keeping Mead stripers from attaining record size, but the gizzards may change that.

If I was a striper, I would much rather be getting plump on fatty stocker rainbows than huge stanky gizzard shad. Those big gizzards are some stinky m-fers [cool]
