    To me it seems that most species of fish from Mille Lacs comes super sized; bullheads, carp, dogfish, pout, rock bass…….

    Except for the walleyes. Talk about ironic. As for that carp… holy smokes what a beast.

    I believe it has to do with the forage base and mostly genetics. Perch are the main base, but are not as high in protien like the shad in P4 or the abundance of emerald shiners in LOW. Although the tulibee(sp?) are making a strong come back and I am curious to see if it will make a difference.
