EWEST,
I must confess that I do not know how to "age" BG, but believe yes, some do reach 10 inches in 2 years in my ponds, two full growing seasons. I posted a picture of one sometime back and Bruce said he believed it was a 2 year old fish. I do use high protein feed (42%) and feel that certainly contributes to the rapid growth rates.
How do you "age" BG or LMB for example?
