I agree on fishing your own water. That was the impetus behind my desire to own my own ponds.....so I wouldn't have to go anywhere else.
I fished water other than my own a grand total of one time last year, and this is coming from someone who fishes quite a bit.

BUT....I have yet to see a 3-lb BG come out of any of my ponds, while I have seen photos of the ones at Richmond Mill. Having the opportunity to fish a place that has produced fish of that caliber definitely has an appeal to me.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
