Dave,
I think the regional aspect is very important. What may be phenominal growth in one area may be closer to the norm in another. Also BG life span may be considerably different from region to region. My experience in East Texas is that we have BG growth rates higher than other northern regions, but our BG do not seem to live as long and hence do not often reach the 2 to 3 pound mark...but 10 inch BG are not unusual at all in my ponds.
