Bruce,

Different fin strokes for different folks but I know taxidermists that would have an orgasm over E-24 and pay big bucks for a fish proportioned that way if he got to at least a pound. I sure wouldn't pitch him. I'd just put him in an alternative therapy pond for sex addicts. (All male monastery .) \:D


Although early maturation is considered a negative, I'm not so sure these fish are doomed to be small fish albeit they my not get as big as the fish that don't mature early. My yellow perch females produce eggs at only 1 year of age, but yet they end up becoming quite large. But then again maybe the dynamics of yellow perch are different then bluegill.




If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
