jpsdad,
I find your next to last chart, VERY interesting! (Texas Top 50 - RW v Length)
I read most of the RW posts in the forum to learn how people's pond management and feeding programs are helping their fish. I just assumed RW was a "pure" data point about how effective the pond feeding program is working, or the forage population, or the stress, etc.
That chart certainly seems to indicate that fish have some inherent morphological differences. Some fish grow longer with adequate food supply, some are stouter and fatter.
It sure would be nice to know on that chart, which fish were northern LMB, versus Floridas, versus F1. I suppose there is a chance that the type of LMB is causing the dispersion?
