Pulled a lot of otoliths, aged a lot of fish, so I'm.sure he's published something regarding age at a given length/ wt. I know the Potomac river has about the fastest growth rate around. Funny thing, 30 years ago, I had to go.to VA to catch them. Now, they're everywhere. A 68# was landed last week right by me, Patuxent river. Last edited by DaveP; 03/29/22 07:06 AM.

Catfish tournament's are more popular than bass tournament's on this lake now. These big blue cats are killing the crappie population on this lake.
