I dont know whether a fish such as (for example) a farmed 18lber would be so easy to catch but that isnt really my argument.
I can say with almost comlete certainty that it would be easier to catch having never learned the ways to survive and achieve such size in a wild environment.
But my main reason for being against it is that it isnt a product of nature. It would be another thing that we are trying to control in nature and thats just takes the sport out of it for me.

Has anyone ever been to Orvis Headquarters in Manchester? They have a trout pond with very large fish in it, approaching 15 lbs, maybe even larger. When you throw the pellets in they go ape Sh@t over them. That is basically what is happening at a hatchery and now imagne putting those fish in lake and tell me that they will be hard to catch. The hard part would be to locate it not catch it.

Thanks for the votes and comments!
