Camelot Bell evaluation - 09/30/13 02:39 PM
These were stocked May 20th 2013. Purchased from Overton's Fisheries and were their 3" fingerlings. The pond was new construction of 1.5 acre. 1100 CNBG were stocked 1 year to the day prior to stocking the bass and had several good spawns off the BG. The pond was also stocked with RES and 18 or so albino CC a few months after the CNBG stocking. I also released 10 lbs of FHM with the bass.
My stocking number for the Camelot Bell was 75 fish.
These two bass were caught 4 1/2 months after stocking.
This one measured 8.75" and was caught on a black and chartreuse road runner. Sorry for the bad angle and washed out picture on this one. My daughter had a CC on the line and was hurrying to get him back in the water to net her fish.
This one measured right at 11"! It was caught on a white/red dot beetle spin. I had time to take better pictures of this one.
I can say I am extremely excited with the growth rate of these bass. Without the guidance of this great site I probably would have listened to one of the local fishery with their high stocking numbers instead of getting in touch with the experts at Overton's.
