Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations YP Growth: Height vs. Length

I have more YP eating pellets this Spring (for 2 months now!) than ever before (possibly more than all previous years put together). I don't know why they are all eating this year, but am just appreciating it.

This has given me lots of YP to look at, from fairly skinny 6 inchers to big ones 14-15" long. There is a subset which are medium sized (10-11") that seem exceptionally tall for YP - about halfway from (what I consider) regular YP shaped to BG shaped.
