Thanks to CA_Bass for keeping some of the fish from his husband/wife tourney today. Here is some of what they caught:
WEIGHT----------LENGTH
3lbs. 10oz----------19"
2lbs. 7 oz.----------16 1/4"
1lbs. 13oz.---------15 1/4"
2lbs. 4 oz.----------16 1/4"
1lbs. 0oz.-----------10"
0lbs. 9oz.-----------10"
As for me, I snuck in an hours or so of fishing myself. My first 4 bass were sportsmen release right at the boat. Finally landed the last two before I left.
0lbs. 13oz.---------11"
0lbs. 13 oz.--------11"
And no, they were not the same fish!

Just going off of my memory, but almost all my bass that I can remember catching at Wilson that were over the 17" mark were a little skinny. There were only two that I can recall that were long and fat one I caught in October 2010 she was 19" and about 4.5lbs...the other one I didn't actually get in the boat, she jumped(nice and high) and my lure came flying out , she was a solid 5.5lbs maybe 6 that was in 2006. The 19" from today didn't look malnourished or anything.
Maybe we could get a recommendation from the biologist you are working with to get some Florida bass in here. Maybe if the DLNR hears it from a reputable source they could be swayed. All I can say is 23" long 24" around 19.4lbs...they could put a dent in the red devils. As far as I know, the Florida bass are actually less aggressive, they just get older and grow faster. And they spawn with northern bass.
Time to go order my steez...Those top 3 bass were mine.

I imagine tilapia and medakas would be good forage,And probably easy to raise, to supplement the lake. Maybe a Shad program as well.
Add a seasonal slot of 2 fish per person of 12-16" PBs,which could be closed based on catch by the dlnr and we might start seeing more big fish.
That might be a good start.

The Talapia are easy to raise and make a great forage fish. We're all going to have to show up at the HFFA meeting this month. Check on what the hatchery is doing with the bluegill too.
Sounds like all our ideas might need some financial help....... Might be time to start figuring a way to add some money to help raise some forage fish.

I caught two bass one 18.5 and 20 inches both very healthy sorry no scale. I know couple years ago would rarely catch one if one did come up it was kind of rare for me and they all would have sucked in stomachs and just dragged them in no fight! Now days didn't catch any sick looking ones all healthy.
