BZ about 2 issues back Dave Willis and I (90% Dave)did an article on aging fish and why it will help. Take a look. You can age BG by scale annuli (like tree rings) or other methods. Here is a 3 yr. old LMB scale. Dave's pics are much better , but not available here. I will try and post them tonight. I bet you can age those HBG with a little practice. \:\)
