The chart has some holes in it,

Just caught a 12.5” HSB, weighed exactly 1 lb, scale was tipping from .99 -1.01
What’s the RW.

Also a LMB 9” @ .48lb

On the other side....it's a great problem to have that you are trying to push HSB beyond 105% RW with your SMB/LMB exceeding 120%. Lots of pond owners would love to be in your shoes! Pat yourself on the back for a successful plan imo.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy as could be with the way things are going, All the fish, minus the HSB look like they are going to explode.
I like to learn and ask questions. I'm sure my Management person is tired of hearing from me LOL

I am mixing 2 different foods.
Aquamax MVP with a food from Skretting USA. When I'm around during feeding time (almost every night) I throw a 3rd food that is bigger than the Feeder can throw

3 fish I caught this weekend

HSB - 14" - 1.48lb
LMB - 10.5" - .78lb
SMB - 9.25" - .52lb

These are typical numbers, Give or take a little
This pond was stocked in September of 23' with fingerling LMB, 4" SMB and 6" HSB, So everything is still new,

I've never observed one fish getting eaten by another when hitting feed, and it makes me sad because everyone talks about it!

I also never new what ewest posted about the HSB processing the carbs.

I think if you want some diversity in species, and are on a feed program, you've got to keep the amount of HSB down so your other desired fish can access the feed.

Because this topic is current, caught 2 of these tonight, both the same length.
1 was .92 other was .94, looks like 138%
My daughter ask if they could become obese and unhealthy
You see all these long and lean fish well 😳 and it’s still a baby
That board is 4.5” wide, I know this stuff is every day for you experts but for
Me it’s above anything I could dream
