2 comparisons I'm wondering about are LMB and SMB and CP and NP.

What makes a LMB of the same length as a SMB heavier? Same as for a 22" CP heavier than a 22" NP?

I have to disagree LMB being heavier then their cousins SMB! Inch for inch every SMB I've caught out weighed the LMB. The SMB are stronger and more solid/muscle.

And as I also said, what makes a 22" chain pickerel heavier than a 22" pike?

I'd guess it's because a 22" chain pickerel is a full grown fish likely in its prime while the pike is still a young fish which is not fully grown yet. Kind of like the difference between a 6ft tall teenager and a 6ft tall middle aged man. The old guy usually has more fat on him Very Happy
