Wow PBH I did get you and your bro mixed up. You, your bro, and worm and bobber all sound the same to me anyway. Maybe you were all brainwashed at the same time. And for the removal of the genes before reproduction happens all the time. I don't think it is an issue at all in the gorge. Think of the Berry. If we had a smaller slot on the Berry think how many wouldn't ever make it to spawn. Even at 20" I am not sure how many of the better genes would be removed before they ever spawn. I am very glad we have it at 22". In fish it is amazing how quickly you can manipulate the genes. I know first hand and have seen it many times over.
