Yes, I have weighed, measured and tagged 8 of the 10 LMB that I have caught in order to track their growth, help determine how many are in the pond, and catchability, as I have read that may also be a trait that may be passed on.

I have not caught one that was previously tagged but have only targeted LMB a few times.

The other 2 were caught before joining PB and beginning to learn about pond management but were very similar in size, I took pictures and documented what they were caught on.

The Grandkids also caught 5 GSF (6-7") which were removed to be used for trotline bait and 1 HBG 6" which was released.
