Both those fish appear pretty healthy to me, and are beautiful. I'd keep the scale and tape close by and record WRs. After a while you'll know just by handling them if they are above or below the WR you desire.

Again, consider keeping those SMB cruising...nothing else ounce for ounce battles like a 18" SMB IMO.
