So are the numbers there as well?

I'm wondering if there are not as many, but they are bigger?

Thoughts anyone?

Great news on the size - I might have to beef up the gear a bit come fall.

With all the data posted by Tom from previous LOC derbies the average gain in weight between the spring LOC and the fall LOC is approx. 27.5%. With this data the 32.14lb king would have weighed approx. 44.3lbs.

In 06', wich was the last peak in terms of weight, we took 4 kings over 31lbs that year. I cant wait until August. I should be a heavy one. Lets hope for some favorable winds this year to keep some more kings on the u.s. side.
