I told myself that if I raised a HBG to 1.5 lbs I would have it mounted. Then we began catching a few that size, and I couldn't go through with it. And my management strategy for these fish places no emphasis on genetics....still couldn't do it.

I do hope to get past this hangup, however. I want a 2 pounder for the wall. Whether or not it will actually happen remains to be seen.


"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.
