I also have a spreadsheet for the 4-1/2 years of all fish caught, weight, length, amount harvested, released. That data is plotted on a chart and that plots against the relative weight graph and gives me a picture of the overall condition of those specific fish. I look at it as 1 piece of a puzzle on pond management and with that data I can add more pieces together of that master puzzle.
If I run into pond problems and I call a specialist, then I can present the spreadsheet and say here is all the information I have....like going to a doctor and giving him type food you eat, how much, body activity, daily life, etc. With that, he will be able to give you a more sound advise of what needs to take place moving forward.
Last but not least, I have a hidden love of doing this all the way down to my bones. It's like having on a real expensive dark suit and wetting yourself in public. It gives you a warm feeling but no one notices....lol
