At the lake I fish all of the fish stick to a common size. I catch 12, 14, 16, 20, and 22 inchers. I rarely catch any between those lengths. Is this the result of good spawns in those years or something else? BTW there are a lot of 12s because it got stocked with about 1400 lbs of them.

wow! can I go fish your lake?  

Hmm...

12"-22" sounds like a healthy lake to me.

you mean there are no 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, or 21's ? :-?

Now, that's funny!

;D ;D ;D

It's not funny, it's true! ;D ;D ;D

Take a good look at your "check-it" stick - are all the numbers there?

Honestly there are very few, and I use a bassmaster thing that has numbers 1-18 on it ;D

No they are acctually all 13 and a half, 15 and a half, 17 and a half, 19 and a half, and 21 and a half inch fish, he just rounds up  

You guys are simply too much to deal with.  :

How about the 13 and 3/4s, 15 and 3/4s ........

It might seem pretty odd to some people, if they were all exactly 12, 14, 16, etc......

However, I think this could have a lot to do with different year classes.

A couple months ago, I was trying to catch "the perfect sized" Split Tails, of about 13" (a native bait fish in my area, which are excellent bait for Stripers) but it seemed like I would catch nothing but 7", 11", and 15" fish...... almost certainly 1, 2, and 3 year old fish. Kind of frustrating really. In fact, of the very few 13 inchers that I did catch, I'd have to say they were just fast growing 2 year olds, or slow growing 3 year olds.

So anyway, I can see where what your saying might sound unlikely, but I can also see why it could be totally possible.

Peace,
