i'm always looking for more info on fish, anyways, in a pond forum, i came across a "relative weight" dealio. you can calculate how healthy your fish are from this, i know some of these species won't apply to but i'm sure you can find the info for just about any fish...so here goes;
this one is for bluegill, black and white crappie, yellow perch, pickerel and sunfish and walleye

this one is muskie, pike, trout (brown, brook and rainbow) rock bass and shad

the last one i have is for largemouth bass, small mouth bass, striped bass channel cat and bullhead;

to calc your fish's relative weight, (with these charts anyways), divide your fish's weight by 100% of the "relative weight"

Great charts, thanks Keith. It will be interesting to see what I get once I get another system running.
