I wonder if fish tend to grow a little more in weight when its cold, and not as much in length? That is a really slippery topic, and if I really knew anything, I would say so rather than "wonder." When studying fish population seasonally, including under the ice, we do see more weight gains and length gains seem pretty rare or at least pretty small.
That's plausible. On the other hand is it possible they are eating and not digesting the food very fast which leaves their stomach and intestinal tract more full of food, hence they weigh more?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
