RC - any idea how old that fish is to be 5 lbs? By calculation with standard weight it is around 20-21".
Hey Bill I put those HSB in my pond March of 2012 and they were all 8 to 10 inches then. I did not measure this one but I caught a 4 lbs last year and it was right near 20 inches so I am sure you are right on with you estimate. We will be fishing for them again this weekend and going to clean one and see how they taste. I will get a weight and measurement and mouth gape as well if we catch one.
