Maybe because the bigger sizes are already sold out.

I may be wrong ... but I think Snipe is wondering what I am. Why are the fingerlings still 2" long in October? Doesn't seem right ... they make that growth by June generally especially in Texas

I agree with you, they may be the runts of the litter so to speak, or the hatchery had them poor quality feed in a raceway fed by well water. To keep them from eating each other hatcheries usually grade them at least once every few weeks if not more often.

I talked to a supplier today - see my answer a few posts below this one.
