I'm blaming CCA for putting a bounty on our breeder size trout as a way to generate revenue
LOL... you seriously think this is the issue (there isn't an issue at all) with the trout population? A few dozen "breeder" trout that get weighed for the STAR tournament?
Trout reach sexual maturity by 12-14" length - approximately 2 years old. They then spawn multiple times each summer until their death, usually around age 5-6. Fish that are kept and weighed for the STAR Tournament are likely much older than 5 years and have already spawned at least a dozen times.

As long as DWF is using the accepted science to manage the fishery, all is well. All the rest is stupidity.

Go back and look at the amount of eggs produced by a 2yr old fish vs a 5yr old fish.
Sure a 12 inch trout is fertile but a 27 inch trout produces 4 or 5 times as many eggs.

Preach. All I wanted to say has been said re: breeding. I do not believe that large trout have any special genetics other than they got lucky and lived longer.
