When did he hatch? He is about 1-1/2” long. I’m surprised to see a recent hatch in the winter.

I'll let the smart ones give you their best guess, but I do know we had a good spawn in November. I saw thousands of fry. I still see a large amount of small fish on the warmer days in the shallows.

Late 2024 spawn or a poorly fed fingerling from an earlier one.

He doesn't look glaringly 'unhealthy,' even though he's dead....

I wondered the same thing. Have noticed a few floaters under 2" in the last week

With the date posted I would guess the dead BG was spawned in Sept. Slow growth in the Fall/winter. If the BG was borne in May it would be 3 times that size by fall - assuming enough food.
