What about the size at Big Lake? Caused by the lower limit or no?
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.

I've ready a few articles about different fisheries that state that a given fishery has a particular amount of biomass that it can sustain. If you reduce the number of fish taken from a given fishery, then the average sized fish goes down because there is less forage to go around. Some places are just set up to grow bigger fish.
The places in Louisiana that have bigger trout are areas that have access to deeper waters. Much of our marshes do not get that deep. I cannot speak for the Texas fisheries.
