Are you talking Small mouth?? Or large mouth??
Smallies are slower growing then large..Large mouth will grow about as fast as trout 4 to 6" per year, SM about 2 to 4" per year..
In lakes that have all sizes with a good number of 19" and over SM bass they seem to grow faster (or that is what other states say) and do not spawn till they are a bigger size..
SM bass and LM bass like different types of cover and water depth and spawning places and depths..
