Camelot Bell growth update
Here are some updated pictures of my bass. The bass have been packing on the weight. Some of the larger bass are 13+" in 13 months. Average lenths are 11-12" now. Good looking fish. I have also added some hybrid stripers this year to improve my winter fishing. I am hearing they will grow 2lbs+ a year.

Just from initially looking at the pictures, and not knowing the whole back-story, those LMB look underfed; their guts look a bit concave as opposed to bulging out.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Post spawn means weight loss of up to 33%.

I thought it could be due to post-spawn.

Yep, definitely post spawn. I was referring to the length mostly. Roughly an inch a month seemed right on schdule. The pond was a new construction three years ago. First year I stocked RES , BG and FHM. Second year the bass and Tilapia went in. Last April another 40lbs of Tilapia went in plus some stripers. I�m also feeding Cargill protein year round.
