1) Take a look in the archives for the relative weight chart. Print it out, measure and weigh the fish and see how they compare.

2) If they are underweight/undersize, realistically, what can be done? It's a public BOW, correct?

For a 2 year old BOW, if the fish were stocked as fingerlings, then it sounds about normal for a BOW that isn't supplementally fed.
