Now I am worried you took offense of my use of the word "plumper". To be sure I was conflicted with how much to increase its RW. RES are such robust fish to begin with and appear heavier to me in all waters I catch them relative to BG of the same lengths. This is also corroborated by the standard weights. At 10" the standard RES weighs 1.13 lbs where the standard BG weighs .91 lbs. So an RES is 24% plumper than BG even when standard. So this is where my experience falters ... I really don't know how to gauge RW from a photo other than that fish appears a good deal fatter than any RES I have ever caught. Also, I am not certain whether the RES I have caught were at or above standard weight so please don't take a offense if I underestimated the weight.
