Caused by the habitat. Big Lake has always been a big trout fishery a la Texas. The impact of the limit change has been studied extensively and there was no significant impact on the trout population due to it. LDWF knew it would have no impact before hand but it was driven by political pressure from a couple guys who thought it would help from what I understand.

i believe the avg size of trout are impacted by fishing pressure and accessibility, areas with lower avg size fish are easier to access and have higher number of fisherman and vice versa, more pressure smaller trout...

no, just the opposite. big lake had a 25 fish limit along with the rest of the state for several years. we still caught hammer-sized trout back then. me and a buddy caught a 2-man limit of 50 trout several years ago that filled up my 120 qt ice chest (pre-yeti days) when we added 16# ice. this was before cell phones with cameras so no pics were taken.
in an effort to keep the "houstonians" from pounding it to nothing ldwf lowered the limit to its current format.
big lake seems to go through ebbs and flows with the trout's size.
