[quote bassrods] bass (Sm) grow at about 1 1/2" to 2" per year if you keep them say you keep a 19" 3.5lb bass how long woud it take to grow another???
Keeping a 11" bass to eat How long will it take to replace it??? [/quote]
Hypothetically speaking, it would take less than 1 year to replace that 19" bass. I would imagine that it would be an 18" bass that would replace it, and since you mentioned that they grow 1 1/2 - 2" per year, then it should take less than 1 year to replace that harvested bass.
Same thing with the 11" bass. Again, I would bet that it would be a 10" bass that would replace the 11" bass. So, again, less than 1 year to replace it.
Just because you harvest a bass doesn't mean that you start over from scratch.
