For best potential, we all want to buy the shooters (jumpers-fast growers) problem is unless we raise the fish from 2-3", we don't get to see the shooters because most growers take the top of the top for their own reasons, so yes, growing from small fingerlings in a separate pond to a sex size is not a bad idea.
Looking at bass prior to spawn is about 75% accurate, cath tubes are 99.9% which takes some time to learn, break a glass tube in a fish it becomes fillets..
I love the math above, it takes a lot of information and clears the trash out to see the raw numbers-which to most is unbelievable-but you still have to determine what your specific water body will grow in forage per acre and it has to be available in all sizes, not just pounds-you guys above all know that-I'm just writing it down for reference.
