Big Fish - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was once told by a ranger in the sierra's that there was this lake where you could catch 14-15 inch trout all day. He gave us the directions to find it and off we went. It was epic, one fish after another all about 14-15 inches. The problem as I saw it was the fact none weighted even a pound. The lake had been stocked several years before because of confused identity, the fish had enough food to exist, but not enough to thrive. I've seen barracuda fatter than those trout.

I'm not trying to suggest changing how we determine big fish, but maybe we consider including length because it can give us a feel for lesser know types of big fish.

This is just a discussion, how do others feel?
