Speaking strictly as an amateur, when it comes to bluegills I like to see a saucer shape body dynamic...a fish that is nearly as tall as it is round. I also want a small eye size, as an indicator of age, and smaller fins in proportion to the rest of the body, which may indicate a fast growing specimen.

An immature male that displays these traits suggests to me that the fish has positive traits, and the potential for enhanced growth.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
