Lake8,

Congratulations on that chunky LMB!

For a little context, I thought you might like to know that your pond so far has set the standard for maximum average growth on a climate adjusted basis. As far as I know, climate adjusted, that is maximum average growth. FWIW, the model computes an average weight. The average weight estimated for your LMB for March 1, 2025 is 1.1 lbs (about 4% more than your sample). That is estimate of the average. It is possible you have some fish shooting that are larger. In Boondoggles samples, the variation was 20% over or under his sampled average so a 1.3 lb LMB is not out of the question (the length for such a shooter could range quite a bit but would be closing in on 14" if 100 RW or as short as 12" if closer to 160 RW). There is always variation.
