I just discovered something interesting.
One of my ponds has two smallmouth bass in it. I decided to throw a small lure to catch one.
Sure enough, one of the smallies exploded on it, and gave me a great fight.
The smallmouth had been stocked at 12 inches, but was now a full 14 inches less than three months later.
I figured it had been eating some of the giant dragonfly nymphs that we have in abundance.
When I released the fish it hesitated at the surface and urpped up a leapard frog that measured 8 inches from snout to tip of longest leg. The frog appeared to have been alive in the last few minutes.
I haven't had any herons in the last few months so I've had an explosion of leapard frogs.
Apparently this is where some of them go.
Sorry, but I didn't have a camera with me.
