I do think the Wr charts intended for BG are a poor fit for HBG. These fish can grow very heavy, very quickly. And I feel that skews the results unfairly when using info that was intended for native bluegills. But as of right now, that's the best we have to work with.
I need a correction factor when using BG math on HBG.

"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.

Kinda thought you would say that Sparkie.....I already have the potential of "mutt" pond. Wonder what would happen if I throw in one GSF...I already have one warmouth in there. Better watch out Bill ole Stickem (Charlie) loves warmouth ...wish I could find some fingerling warmouth...oh well, I'll come across some sooner or later. wish you was close to me i know where plenty are

I need a correction factor when using BG math on HBG. The charts confuse me anyway. Folks are always comparing their fed fish to the charts. Are the charts based on non-fed fish or fed fish?

Bill, I don't think it's a case of fed vs. non-fed, as much as it's one more tool to help evaluate the condition of your fish, irregardless of what they have, or haven't been eating. I'm not aware of any Wr charts that are intended for use solely on either fed, or non fed fish, but that doesn't mean one isn't out there somewhere. I tend to see it as an observed, averaged ratio of weight to length, including fish of many different management scenarios and locations.

Wr charts are a good indicator of how your fish are doing. FWIW IIRC a fairly recent issue of PBM stated that Wr charts are based on unfed wild fish.
