I stocked 20 HSB in my pond (~7" long) last Fall and they promptly disappeared. I was BG fishing and was surprised to catch one that is now 12.5" and 15.2 oz. Trying to determine health by getting RW. Anyone know of calculator or chart. COuldn't find via google search.

I think I found what I needed:
HSB Relative Weight

I put data from above link into Excel, did a chart, added trendline (Power), and displayed equation. Equation fit was at 100%.

The equation for calculation of the expected weight using inches and ounces is:

Expected Weight = 0.0056 x (Length) ^ 3.142
