triton, i took this same advise from greg and cecil and have been cage raising lmb this summer with great success. (see post: "expensive snack")i purchased 4-6 in bass and placed them in cages the first of july. they are now 10 in, fat and healthy and ready to be released. i lost less than 5% of the fish. these small bass cost less and are easy and fun to raise in cages. i suspect i'll do this each year to add some new and improved genetics to my pond. jb

Take great care of it, or let someone else have it.
