The RW is only an Alpha and Beta figure (formula) that fits what is know as Typical for a given species but does NOT allow for an unknown strain % of a fish that has FL and Northern genetics.
My point is the "80" is not relevant if a northern LMB chart was used and the genetic makeup was a possible % of both N and FL.
Same for the 150-180. I don't feel that's an accurate assessment of unknown genetics.
Lets go back to the KS record.. If that fish achieved 28.5", at some point, it had to be in 100% condition to achieve that length, yet an Alpha and Beta was used that was designed around typical for what?? Northern or FL strain?
