Lucky Louie,

If the largest fish were such a good idea, then God wouldn't have made any small ones. This notion that large fish are more "fit" than small ones is substantiated main in the shallow minds of fishermen who can't differentiate between a fish and their pecker. There is no scientific evidence that small fish are less reproductively fit, and there is recent evidence that residualized male steelhead, about the size of small trout, effectively fertilize female steelhead eggs in many steelhead mating scenarios. This is the reason you aren't reading any posts by the biologists about this issue, because it isn't an issue.

Jgrizzle,

Just trying to help, not necessarily to referee - that's to much like hard work.
