One factor for increased RW is the gravid condition of the RW bass. Mature egg mass for a 25" LMB could be I think 2 lbs. Mature egg mass weight for a yellow perch ranges from 25%-30% of the female's normal weight.
I hear the lead weight mass for some non-gravid walleye caught in a tournament can also reach 25-30% of the fish's normal weight.
