New pond will be stocked with fingerling Tiger bass this summer. Is there a size chart anyone has used to keep track of fast and slow growing fish and eventually used that data to harvest?

I think their growth rate is too "pond dependent" for a universal chart to apply. Maybe keep good sampling records with dates, lengths, and weights? With enough data you should be able to figure out which slow-growers and fish with poor Relative Weights should be culled in the future. P.S. Angling for Tiger bass to sample growth rates sounds like awfully enjoyable work to me!

Have you looked in the archives? Look at the relative weight chart for LMB, post #468638 in this thread and open the the LMB link in catmandoo's post. (chart 3 of 3) https://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=160456#Post160456Anything less than 95%-100% RW should go. Unless it's right after the LMB spawn. Then wait a month or so before you cull.
