According to the WR chart in the archives a CC that is 29" should weigh 11.9#, a 30" should weigh 13.3#. This one was 29.5" and 15.94#.

It wears tag #0005 and is back cruising. I haven't seen any signs of them spawning in the pond. The neighbor's CC are full of eggs/milt.

This one ate a piece of hotdog that was soaking in the pond since Thursday in 12' of water. #4/0 Circle Hook. There is a CC in the pond that I caught Spring of '09 that was 28" and 14.8#. That one is wearing tag 0001 and hasn't been seen again.
