Wow thanks for all this advice and info
Ive learned a lot so far

Also I wanted to give a little more context and ask a couple questions

I have not measured much BC just a few 13 to 14” fish.
and I absolutely need to measure weigh and record my catches

Harvest - rough estimate for the last 3 years
95% eating size 12oz to 19oz
5% medium 6-8”
rare under 6”
Fry? > unsure how much
40# to 50# annual harvest

Questions
1 fecundity > does it change with size?
2 trophy size potential> what harvest approach would work best ?
3 consistent large keeper size harvest > what would maintain a consistent amount of keepers +12oz

Thanks in advance
