There has been some recent discussion having to do with RW of fish. We can use LMB for this topic.
Where was the RW chart derived from ?
What does it factor in ? i.e. Growing season, region, feeding, genetics, pre vs post spawn etc.
There are so many factors when it comes to weigh vs. length,
I would like to discuss more from stocking to year 3, (getting the fish off to a good start) than the end result. Long term management can be for another day
You need to have a solid foundation before you get the finished product.
It seems to be common knowledge that a LMB can not sustain upwards of 140% very long, yet we are seeing percentages well above that in the first year.
Is a 12" - 1.35# closer to average in TX than it is in KS or MO ?
