In snrub's photo where the fish is lying on the rocks facing to the left, check out the wavy patterns or striations on what remains of the tail?

And Esshup brings up a point I hadn't noticed. The gill flap appears relatively intact in this photo, and it seems to come to a point, with no evidence of an opercular tab like a 9" RES should display.

And yellow eyes on a RES?

Are we seeing everything we should be seeing in the photo where the gills are displayed, or has damage been done there?

Man, I gotta' stay with crappie. laugh


And in Highflyer's mystery fish photo, it looks like a RES to me, possibly with some BG in the lineage.

"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.
