My understanding of how you guys do things and how fish grow down south-is lacking, but.. Not being there to identify visual conditions, weed growth has made an impact but to what extent I don't know. WR's of 14-16" fish suck for this time of year. 105% for this time of year on 7-9" fish might be low also. An abundance of YOY BG is feeding the smaller bass to some extent, but obviously the larger BG are either not available to the larger fish, or very few left(but something is supplying YOY). No more culling of 10" fish is taking a larger chunk of the younger BG. More weed growth is hiding some of them but I would expect WR's to go down as size goes up but it's going to hide YOY BG and LMB, maybe a double edge sword there.
4lb bass shocked up but 5lb bass reported prior could indicate extreme declines in condition and possibly an up-tick in larger BG-larger than the largest bass can consume.
Sounds a lot like the majority of the biomass is tied up in the lower portion of the food chain.
