5-31 fish was definitely post spawn, both were in good condition

Caught 2 fish I had tagged earlier in the year and started reading about bass growth, curious if these numbers are low, average, or above average? 5-31-16 4lbs 13oz-20.25" 4-16-16 2lbs-15" Today 5lbs 14oz-21" Today 3lbs 5oz-17.75" I'm in north MS

I have been tagging and tracking largemouth bass in a 15 acre pond for one year now. I have only caught a few tagged fish but here are two of the most recent. 1) Tagged 4-15-2016 15" and 2lbs 00oz Recaught 10-20-2016 17.75" and 3lbs 05oz 2) Tagged 5-31-2016 20.25" and 4lbs 13oz Recaught 10-20-2016 21" and 5lbs 14oz Pond has threadfin and gizzard shad, stocked 5,000 3"-4" coppernose bluegill in March 2016. Largest LMB to date is 25" and 8lbs 8oz My question is, what are poor/normal/exceptional growth rates? In north MS

15 acre pond ranging from 3 to 14ft deep

An example would be 85 degrees vs 95 degrees and level of activity, or maybe it doesn't matter?

Is there a definitive surface water temp that will let you know the bass should be more active?

It's private, 15 acre pond, half of it has a pretty flat bottom at 6' depth

Thinking of cutting up 24" black culvert for structure/cover and sinking in it 4-8 feet of water, if this is a good idea anyone know what good length to cut them would be? Think I have around 20'

Kill this one or move it to the side with a stick?

Anyone have any input as to what is going on with the tail? This isn't the first, but seems to be the most drastic.

It is north ms, pretty close to Memphis

Lunchtime Double today.

I've fished a lot of places and never seen anything like it. That's why I was asking. As far as how its being 'managed' - up until October of last year, it wasn't even being fished.
