Let me ask this question... What is considered a trophy bass to you?
When I started fishing a 3 or 4 lbr was huge. Those in most other states, except CA, TX & FL, would love a 6-8 lb fish and consider those trophies. I dont think the idea of "turning" Saguaro or Canyon into a "trophy lake" is a very good idea, at least for the majority of anglers. By the way, I think they already are trophy lakes.
One of the posters made a very educated statement in that those two lakes are packed with gorillas!!! If you cant catch whats in there now, you
will more than likely
not benefit from changing the rules for everybody else.
The permit idea for tournaments is bs... I think the rules should be the same for everyone. Thats not good PR for the nonTourny anglers, sounds hypocritical.
Now, to help in offering a solution, but just an idea, why not take this "want" to a lake like Apache, a difficult drive, outta the way, etc and turn a similar lake into your trophy lake? Like Seneca or something similar? Not Apache, just an example

. Another idea is to just dump a few more trout into the lakes. Personally, if I catch a 14 or bigger its going on my wall!!!
