So, I was curious how many of the SAL fry were being re-introduced back to the lake. Of all those fish donated from Fork, here are the years they re-introduced SAL genetics.

15. Signature images may not be larger than 600 pixels wide by 125 pixels tall. This includes logos, photos and other graphics. Also, no more than one row of images are allowed. If you want four or five logos in your signature, reduce their size to fit in one row.

Let me ask this: If there is a 20+ pounder, and if it's caught by a Slab Hunter, would you be disgusted or thrilled? I know, I know, the record was caught on a Minnow(BarrySt.Clair). I myself, would be impressed. The dude would probably get a column in Texas fish & Game too. haha

I think there is a 20-lb. class fish in the lake right now, yes. Maybe even a very small number of those fish.
Now whether or not it weighs 20 pounds today, probably not.
But it was probably close a month or two ago and will be very close again very early next spring.
Now whether that fish will ever get caught, that's another story.

No. I'm not a biologist, but I'd say the only 20 pounders are in trout stocked lakes. Bluegill, shad, tilapia or crawdads don't have the protein of trout. California has trout stocked lakes plus they don't have a SAL program. That's two reasons they grow so big out there. With no SAL program there isn't a "bounty" on every 13 plus pounders head.
That's just my opinion.

That's just my opinion. Fork has had a 20lb 12oz, 19, and a 17lb found floating in years past....who needs trout?
