santa dan

Granted that she has been around a long time and there are many litters out there with her genes but that being said what is the purpose of caught and release of large trophy sized fish. secondly the eggs could very well have been viable if harvested soon after she was caught. As far as males not getting that large Is there that one in a million chance that one could. I mean she was a one in a million fish to start with

Hello to all I am Dan in upstate Ny on Lake Champlain the finest bassin water in the northeasti am 51 and have been fishing since I was 4 ,but have fished Lake Champlain for 20+ yrs now Large and smallmouth are my primary targets but we also have some fantastic pike fishing here

I know it's been a while since it was caught but can anyone tell me was this new fish a male or female and was she spond out. Then the question comes up if it was female and full of eggs were these harvested and put back into the system somehow or is this another set of large fish genes gone from the gene pool forever
