Averages are not so accurate. On LMB females are much bigger than males so that makes the average misleading. A 9 lb LMB is big no matter the location but not always rare (it depends on your definition). All LMB do not have the potential to get to 9 lbs (males not ever that big).

CC can get big but average is not a good measure as most are harvested (or die) at a much smaller size. Hope this helps.
