With feeding, they should be 12 to 14 inches in a year from spawn, from what I have researched. Even bigger is likely with satiation feeding. That six incher could be a stunted one from a late spawn last year, or a shooter from an early spawn this season. I had at least one go from a nine inch stocker in September of 2015 to a fat 22.5" five pounder when caught in June of this year. I don't know if I have recruits for sure or just a couple of really badly stunted ones. Have seen a couple approx. 13 inch CC this summer, actually caught one of them. I put four adult CC in the pond winter of '15-'16, all four albino.
