As far as I know, yes Sir. I think it goes for Pickwick too? I hold em up and look, ask them do you need to grow some more? My eyeball is calibrated to around 10 1/2 inch, so I never measure one. Well, except out of curiosity when I’m cleaning, my fish cleaning table has measurements molded in on the front and it has born out my calibration 
Seems like the lake has changed a lot over the last few years. Back in my heyday there, it was full of wolf packs of big whites roaming open water. A local clued me in to one of the few crankbaits that could reach them in the summer. By midday you needed to be down around 20-21 feet. But it seems like the blacks are getting more prominent, and they stick tighter to cover. I honestly don’t care to eat them as well, something about the texture just isn’t right. Mealy or something.
