While on size, culling, RW, etc
I came upon a situation this evening
As most know, my pond was stocked fresh 9/14/23
So these 2 fish would have been stocked from the same place as the same size on the same date
Fish 1. 17” - 2.91# - 107% RW. Looked healthy but long and lean (I’m assuming male) was caught under the fish feeder.
Fish 2. 15.75” - 2.71# - 127% Did not have a huge belly, was just bulky. Was caught in more open water

What would you do?
Let both live to see another day or Cull fish 1 or Cull both ?
The average of all fish caught (27) between November 1 and today is 16.5” - 3.0#
