Rad,

That's an impressive growth rate. Three pound fish in one growing season. I can get that, but starting with about an 8 inch fish, not 1 to 2 inches. I wonder how much of that can be attributed to all males? I've observed a lot activity during mating/breeding that would tend to reduce food intake and increase calorie burning. In another month, hope to have some "catch" stories for you.
