I don't have pictures, but I fished my pond for the first time today.
It was first stocked with supposedly 6-8 inch CC last September and October, but most were in the 4-6 inch range.
Using a 12 foot ultralight crappie rod and a yellow 1/64 oz jig tipped with a yellow "Gulp Alive" waxie, I quickly caught two CC. The first one was about 16 inches and maybe 1.5-1.8 pounds. I quickly put it back in the pond. The second was 21 inches and 3 pounds 14 ounces. I kept it to eat. I guess that one was a "shooter". It was a female containing partially developed eggs. Maybe my feeding program has been about right. I was afraid of feeding too much and spoiling the water. I will try to take some more out if this one tastes good enough at tonight's meal.
Sure was a tussle catching it on that UL crappie pole with 6 pound line.
Both CC were over 100% RW.
Edit: It tasted really really good!
