ewest has access to some good literature in Journals. Let's see what he can provide. Once we know the gape size of various lengths of bass we can do some measuring of prey body depth - height of BG, GSF, Shiners, shad, YP, HBG, etc and create a large very useful data set. We can do our own study and get a good data set if we get enough member participation. Bruce Condello catches a lot of fish and Big fish. He can be a big help with this body length - gape size study. Numerous members catch lots of their pond fish and will be able to contribute some good information. Several duplicate measurements for for the same length of bass is good because it provides variation - variety - diversity. All you members can become amateur fishery biologists.
