[feature:] Direct comparison to WHAM is needed

[kellijohnson-NOAA]

Describe the situation that led to the request and a solution

We compare other platforms but we do not have a direct comparison to WHAM yet. @cmlegault and @timjmiller do you have any ideas for a case study?

WHAM has example data for the Southern New England-Mid Atlantic Bight yellowtail flounder stock that should work for this.

@emilyliljestrand is this something that you think you can take on?

[emilyliljestrand]

I can work on this yeah. Maybe have an idea by the end of the month

Update that I've talked to @timjmiller about this. We have established comparison of FIMS to ASAP through Legault's work with SNEMA yellowtail, but the most recent WHAM model has ecov and other features that make comparison hard. Bluefish or Butterfish might make good comparisons, I have the WHAM models and will work on this next month.
