[reply]PBH, I really wish that you would get off of the soap box that genetics doesn't matter. I assure you that genetics are a big part of the equation.[/reply]
Again, another example of where someone spouts off based on emotions rather than simply doing a little reading and educating themself.
Had this person simply read the material PBH presented, this quote and the whole emotional response probably would not have been made; however, here we are again:
"With fish, maximum potential size is determined by genetics, but growth and actual size attained is more a function of the environment. Fish grow to match their environment."
Certainly genetics make a difference, but genetics play a minor role in determining what sizes fish attain in the wild.
