I also read where the specific area of the lake where this fish was caught had undergone treatment for excessive weed growth. Some folks are claiming that the nearly bare lake bottom in that spot had made for some easy pickins' for the RES. I heard there have been other large specimens taken there recently.

Of course, a redear of that magnitude probably wouldn't have obtained that size in just a year or two's foraging, no matter how few weeds were present.

Still, it does give one pause to wonder..

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
