I'll bite. You would keep a longer fish at a lower RW vs a shorter fish at a higher RW of the same age class?

Length Weight RW Fish RW Avg

20 4.95 110.00% 4.5
22 5.6 90.32% 6.2

The thinking is that the longer fish could gain the missing weight vs the shorter fish is growing slower and won't be able to max out on weight in the long term?
