I'd be concerned with 2-3" YP which are nearing age 1 [these YP are obviously 2017 fish]...my age 1 male YP are often 4-5+" and females up to 8"+. That's some significant lost growth...hatchery might be dumping the "runts" or inferior fish - you don't want to be the one ending up with them. Genetics are a very important factor when choosing a hatchery. There are many sources of YP nationwide, it's worth every penny to stock healthy fish with proven genetics from reputable hatcheries. Follow Bill's advice above - he knows!
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
