Could it be possible.........these fish are a victim of their own success?
Follow along with my thinking process and see if the logic makes sense.
TJ said those dead fish looked like they were in great condition. I agree. I would LOVE to have BG look like those (when they are alive of course, not the dead ones).
But are they really in good health condition? Or are they actually obese? Would we look at a 400# human and say "wow, what great condition and rate of gain they had?".
The fish look pretty fat to me. A certain amount of fat going into the winter is desirable for the fish to survive. But is more always better?
What if the fish were simply too fat, the fat stiffened up in extremely cold weather, and the fish muscles couldn't move so the fish suffocated?
Not saying this is the case. Just a hypothesis from a non expert.
