I have a few pellet trained bass in my pond. I caught a couple by accident...these little guys are about 7" long and look like they could stand to go on a diet. I swear I heard one weezing. The girth to length ratio is crazy and look like they waddle when they swim, kind of like a tadpole. They need to be on Finny Craig

lucky man.

keep them that way till they get 20 to 24 inches long and you have something. Keep up the good work.

I like fat bass! No I love fat bass!

I like Big Bass and I cannot lie...

Bad image in my head

It will be interesting to keep up with them as they grow.

Although the pelletized feed is supposed to be 100% nutritionally complete, I like the idea of turning it off for a couple of days per week so they can hustle some natural foods. I have no scientific background that qualifies me to say this but think that diet diversification is important to all predators. Of course, your fat boys may not be able to hustle enough to catch a BG. I doubt that they have a lot of experience with it.

I wonder what would happen to them if you quit feeding? Yeah, I'm a sicko.

and other pondmeisters can't deny
when a bass comes in with a great big waist and big mouth in your face...

..it makes ya wanna throw him in a skillet and fry.

I like their belies ROUND...ROUND

And when they splash on the SOUND!!!

I likem crisp, and that ain't no lie.

When I see those fins she's wearing
I get my scales and I can't stop starin'

Oh Big Bass...I wanna get my hook caught in Ya
And take yo picture

This has the makings of a really good YouTube video. Is FatMcB willing to perform for the camera at the conference?

OK, carry on.....

My pondmiesters tried to warn me
But with that belly you got
Me so....

I don't care who you are that's funny right there.

What happens in Pond Boss, stays in Pond Boss.

wow a derailing of CLASSIC proportion!!!

Oh, don't sound all innocent-like.

Seems to me like you were the conductor here...



We just kinda sang along, sorta, kinda, sorta.

I was simply stating my likes, and the fact that I am very truthful......

Yeah thanks...I can't get that song outta my head now

like my new hat?

Well if you put it that way, I guess I was just giving cooking instructions.

Notice how Ewest is staying out of this thread.

Sounds like a case of plausible deniability to me.

Or perhaps just common sense.

I was never very good at either one so I'm not certain.

Well Dave, after this thread I will not be able to look at them the same way.
