Thanks for the info, the 19" one was'nt actually weighed, I just guessed at the approximate weight because I did not have a scales with me and I returned it to the water quickly because they do not last long out of water, the weight is hard to judge with them being so much different shape then say a LMB. I didn't have a tape either but did have a piece of wire that I put a bend in at its length and then later measured it to be 19inches.

I was just curious as to why they grew so fast and then just completely quit, even tho when I catch one they seem extremely healthy and gorgeously fat. wonder why they would not grow in that condition.
I will try to keep a scales with tape with me and get a relative weight on them when I catch some again.

Again,, thanks a bunch for the input! much appreciated and valued. I didn't think they were probably reproducing but was perplexed at the growth.

All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
