No worries Frank. The request was for harvested fish only. Perhaps a candidate for this might be tubguy who has a goal of 5 - 6 lbs ultimate weight with lots of 2+ lbers. His plan involves harvesting fish when they reach 20 inches (5 lbs) to keep the cycle going. Plus he has many 3lb+ fish he currently needs to harvest. His BOW could provide a lot of useful data just working with the harvest he is planning.


Our pond is only an avg. of .5 acre and we harvest all LMB over 15 inches. Biggest to date is 18.75 inches. If the stomach content data on these fish would be helpful, I will be happy to provide it. If the info from these LMB is useful, should I report the data back to this thread or are you going to start a dedicated thread to the activity?
