[quote bassrods]To show just how good the Striper are doing go to Wayne's site and look at the stunted Striper..LOL[crazy][pirate][cool][/quote]
Oh clifffy, have you ever heard of the stripers at Powell being called razorbacks? Right now, people are heading to the dam at wahweap to catch stripers by the cooler loads with bait...why? The stripers have run out of shad on the southern end of the reservoir and are starting to starve Those "big" fish people are catching are so thin that they are often referred to as razorbacks! Lake Powell has a weird phenomena take place where the larger fish are unable to survive because they run out of food and the smaller fish replace them the next year because some food sources are still available to them. The striper situation at Powell is the perfect example of a stunted population. Funny, but you aren't even arguing about the smallmouth...which have also seen stunting problems at Powell.
