I don't know if you can see the difference in size, but here is an update from today.



This is at 28 weeks.

The average of the top 75 fish is 4.77 inches, and this one is 5.25 inches.

The average length of the next 75 fish is 4.01 inches.

The average length of a random sampling of other early age-1 fish is 2.75 inches, but this includes many fish that were likely born later in the summer or even early in the fall. Currently most of these fish are stuck in a shallow pond covered with snow. I fear for their safety because of possible oxygen problems. Wednesday I was pushing snow off of the pond until the ice started to sag.

Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
