That's an interesting question.

Dave Willis told me once that if a largemouth bass was 15 inches long, it had to have acheived a minimum of a certain weight, but I can't remember what it was.

His point was that if you have a really skinny 15 inch LMB, that it was big enough to acheive that length, so it must have lost weight.

If you follow my logic, this would mean that fish don't lose length when they starve, they just lose weight.

I probably just confused the issue, so go ahead and shoot holes in it.

Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
