Oh, yes...we were talking about the stunted population of smallmouth bass in Jordanelle. And, you said that stunting doesn't occur in big waters. But, then the example of lake powell was brought up and how both stripers and smallmouth have stunted in powell. And then, you said that the stripers do not stunt in Powell and I said that they do and cited Wayne's words as proof. And, now you want to talk about the stunted smallmouth in Jordanelle again...and now, I am sweating and dizzy because around and around we go!
But, back to the topic...like Wayne said about stripers and smallmouth in Powell, if we remove smallmouth in Jordanelle, fish will grow quicker and be more healthy and we can eliminate the stunting problem the smallmouth are experiencing at Jordanelle. The trick is to convince people that removing smallmouth bass is a good thing and then actually getting fishermen to harvest them.
Now, I am sure you will say that they aren't stunted and the argument will continue on and I will get a little dizzier....
