Weight of Trophy Largemouth Bass as a function of Catch Date, Lake Size, Lake Age, and Drainage Area Travis Killen May 2009

Introduction Largemouth Bass Fishing in East Texas East Texas State Records Lake Fork

Study Area

Data Collection Problems finding data… GIS Data: Lake Size Lake Age Drainage Area State Record Info: Weight Length Catch Date

Hypothesis At least one independent variable is significant in determining weight. Catch Date, Lake Size, Lake Age, Drainage Area cannot be used to determine weight of trophy largemouth bass.

Preliminary Results

Linear Regression Do I have the right data? Overall significance of F Fail to Reject H 0 F = < 2.47

Linear Regression

Conclusions Conclusions from my data? What data should be collected? Water Temperature Stocking Reports Bait Used Keep your line wet January - May

Questions?
