Cecil I need to look at home for the RW (Wr) chart for small BG to be sure. Using the standard chart your BG's RW (Wr) are right at 200% using 6 in and 6.25 oz. Yours are .390625 and standard is .2. .390625/.2 = 195.3125 % .
Thanks Eric. Sounds like they will have plenty of reserves going into winter. They are already feeding today after handling yesterday. I think that is another advantage of Bruce's genetic selection that is being passed on.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but your experiences with these fish are identical to mine. I can handle mine all day, and the next day they're eating. The one thing I've noticed is that if you take an age-2 CSBG that's been outdoors all summer and move him into an indoor containment, they take several days to go back on the feed. This seems to be primarily for fish 8 inches and over.
