You guys give us pondowners here that have smallies in their pond a goal to grow one as big. Bruce Condello can show/tell us how to do it with largemouth. See Jan-Feb 2015 pond boss magazine page9 for an example of one of Bruce's home grown LMB. Maybe we can get Bruce to write an article about his special bass growing technique in PB mag for getting our pond bass to state record sizes. I don't think Bruce has any pictures here on the forum of some of his extra big home grown bass or I would post a link to the pictures. Any help here with this?

FYI the standard weight of a 22" SMB is 6.38lbs (6lb 6oz). If this 6lb6oz female was full of eggs at 25% of her body weight that would make her 7 lbs 15.5oz (127.5oz).
