Scott,

I got this off of Michigan's DNR site:

The eggs, which are larger than those of the largemouth bass, hatch in 2 to 3 days. Then the newly hatched light-colored fry drop down into the bottom of the gravel nest for three or more days.

By the time the fry work their way out of the gravel on the ninth or tenth day, they are very dark in color. Under the watchful eye of the male, they swim in a dense dark cloud over the nest for a few days, then begin to disperse.

If my math is right the above may have hatched as much as 3 weeks ago?

You said you saw what appeared to spawning activity on Fritz's pond at least a week ago?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
