H20: I for one have no problem believing your 14 lb Bullie. I fish every year in a system, that shall remain unnamed, where every pool holds 10 t0 50 bullies. (I guess they are. They are in a system where access to the ocean is not possible - east of Idaho, but the biologist there tells me they are bullies.) Anyway they have done several studies of these bullies, including actual counts based on passage thru a weir. Average size was found to be about 6-8 lbs, with the larges fish well over 15 lbs. They are easy to catch on flies the size of a small cutthroat, but I don't fish them as they are in pre spawn mode. In recent years they have head closures in place to protect the bullies. Which is almost too bad as there are great numbers of cutties in the system, which is what we are targeting.
