    Just curious of how many they have stocked over the years and whats the survival rate? Are most of the fish getting to where they are getting big enough to catch?

    Very cool program he started. I saw a TV show on it one time a year or two ago I think.

    Is there a cost to attend the banquet? Is the $20 raffle ticket just for the raffle and I assume do not need to be present to win..??
