Ok guys, bear with me.

I realize I just put my fingerling fish in 2 weeks ago, but curious at what time you begin keeping track of your fish.

I found a chart online, but they start the BG and Res measurements at 6."

So, at what point in time wil my 1-3 and 2-4" fingerlings get to the 6" starting point. I had wanted to do a monthly check on them, but I guess, I'm jumping the gun.

What about my 6-8" catfish? I didn't see a chart for them.

I bought a postal digital scale and basically started catching and keeping records of my cnbg and res at approx. 4 inch. They were approx. 4 months old. Stocked them at about 1-2 inch long.I measured,weighed,and got rw of each and every one. Also average rw of my days catch.They are 2 years old now and I still measure and weigh the large ones. My records and journal I keep has been extremely valuble to look back on.I make notes on everything...when I planted grass,how much I feed, how much rain,water and air temp,water clarity,pond depth,turtles,frogs,birds,otters,...you get the idea. A year from now you won't remember something you wish you had written down. All this is just part of the fun for me. I don't have cc so can't help you there.

farmalsc - the Standard weight data for channel catfish is available which includes weights in 1/10" increments from 6" to 35" of channel catfish in a back issue of PB Magazine. Nov-Dec 2013. CONDITION – THOSE OTHER PREDATORS. Willis and Lusk provide standard weights and discussion of smallmouth bass, spotted bass, palmetto bass, and channel catfish.

There are way too many data length-weight points of 300 for me to copy all them here. I suggest that you buy the back issue of the magazine noted above for all the standard weights for channel catfish (CC). If you grow a CC longer than 35" Private Message me with the length and I will give you the standard weight for that CC.

Here is a sample of the CC weight at each inch from 6" to 10".
6"=0.054lb, 7"=0.090lb, 8"=0.140lb, 9"=0.206lb, 10"=0.292lb.
Note the weight is in pounds so 0.140 lbs is converted to ounces by: 16oz X 0.140lb= 2.24oz; 0.547 lb X 16oz= 8.75oz; 3.36lb = 3 lb +16ozX.36=5.76 (3lb 5.76oz).
