One thing I've wondered about was the gadzillions of adults that were taken out of the springs over the winter.
I ice fished there and in the channel a few times last winter and early in the winter there were only a few under 8." Most were the 10-11 group. I know that some people took 500 or more in a day out of the springs and almost all of them were "big"
By the time I started catching them in the soft water, the smaller ones seemed to outnumber the big ones.
However, it seems unlikely that harvest in one area could affect the size over the rest of the lake.
