Maybe. I caught one CC this morning after feeding at 3 pounds 11 ounces and 22" for a RW of 94%. Empty stomach, so wasn't one of the pellet eaters. Intestines contained only FA. I have cut back on feeding due to the heat and lower water levels. RW has gone down somewhat, but they still have some fat stores, but nothing like a month ago.
As a side note, I also caught and released an albino CC only about 13" long, and maybe 3/4 pound. It has to be a recruit from the three two to 2.5 pound albinos I put in during winter of 2015-16. The other albinos I stocked in early in May of 2016 are all now over 17 inches, as I have seen all of them and even caught and released a few of them. I was told by one of the Lonoke fish farmers that spawn survival of albino CC is nearly impossible in uncontrolled conditions, but....
