Many, many years ago when I worked for the San Diego Police department I worked an area that included one of the San Diego city lakes, Lake Miramar.
This lake was only open to fishing three days a week back then (don't know about now)..Tuesday, Sat & Sun....So, they stocked the trout on Thursdays...
I had keys to the gates, so if I had the time I'd drop by to watch the stocking....
They'd back the stock truck down the boat ramp and just lift the fish out with a big net and dump them into the water...occassionally they'd use a truck that 'dumped' the fish....
This lake had really clear water...you could see the bottom in twenty feet easily...
As soon as that truck started down that ramp, you could see the bass coming. By the time the first trout hit the water, there were bass everywhere...many of trout never made it to the lake, they were caught in midair by the bass.
Big bass...15 pound plus fish in abundance....hundreds of fish over ten pounds..all gorging on trout. Amazing feeding frenzy. Incredible to see.
I'd estimate that only about half of those trout made it away from the ramp...
Guy named Zimmerlee caught a 20-15 out of this lake back then.
