I have no problem with excluding fed, private fish from record status, but get a little irritated when some do so while claiming that a fish on a feeding program are somehow less of a trophy than a so called "wild" fish. If feeding a fish was all it took to reach trophy status, then this forum would be filled with photos of two pound bluegills and 18 pound largemouths, coming from everyone's private ponds.


"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.
