Cool info. Did you consider your bass is growing? Theoretically, after eating nearly 28lbs of BG in about 14 weeks, your 5 lb bass is now a 7.8lb bass!
Hey Bill, I wonder if that takes the age of the bass into consideration? I am assuming these bass to be 5-7 years old..based on the pond age that I caught them from.(possibly older) Do older bass grow as fast as a younger bass?
My assumption would be no. So even if I stocked a 5lber and made the food available I wouldn't think they would be able to grow that fast if they ate everything in the pond?
I need to find out how old the bass are that I stocked, I think I can take a scale sample and count rings correct?
That would at least let me track one of them during this next growing season (2016) to determine her age and how much she grew or didn't grow.
Does anyone know at what age a bass stops growing? or do they grow their whole life as long as they eat well?
