Your Goals should be: With abundant food the stocker bass (females) after 4 years in FLorida's warmer weather should be close to 6-7lbs.
Very good LMB growth reported in Oklahoma - 8.0-8.5 lbs 22" in 5.5 years (2" stockers).
Greg Grimes in Georgia ""expected annual LMB growth.
1 yr- 11 inches 0.7 to 1 lb.
2 yr- 15 inches 1.9-2.1 lb
3 yr- 18 inches 3.3-3.7 lb
4 yr- 20 inches 4.6-5.3 lb
5 yr- 22 inches 7.5-8.5 lb
>6 yr 24 inches 9.5-11 lb
We get growth rates much better than this routinely"".
