Chris,

I didn't feel you were taking over whatsoever. Before all is said and done I may wish you had! \:D

Actually I shattered the state record for brook trout the last time I had them too, but my best then was only 5 lbs 2 oz. and that particular strain seemed to peter out at only 3 years of age. Although I entered the perch out of the 3/4 acre pond, I wouldn't consider entering any of the trout as it really is like fishing in a barrel the pond is so small. I may send a pic to a few biologists as if I'm going to enter one just to rattle their cages. :p

Theo,

I have no idea what kind of feed conversion I get. I feed them to satiation once a day as I don't have the overhead and quantity of fish that most fish farmers do.

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