Thanks guys, for answering another one of my crazy questions. While I'm fishing I think of questions and then usualy ask them after I'm done fishing. My question made sense to me when I asked it but now that I've read some responses I guess it realy didn't make much sense. Oh well, I still learned from it.
I skimmed through the bioenergetics thread but it's going to take a lot more than a skimming to grasp that concept.
Basicaly, I can't look at rw as an indicator of ability to grow but it's still a good indicator of the condition of the fish.
Thanks
