Fish growth depends more of habitat and food availability than genetics. If you don't believe me read about Idaho stocking stunted perch in cascade lake which is now growing perch to nearly three pounds.
It has been done in the past. Perch from Mons lake were transplanted into Kaduk lake (north of Bellis) but unfortunately it was not successful and they did not survive the winter.
