Didn't weigh or measure, but was pleasantly surprised by the growth rate of the fish for less than a year in the pond.. Looks like this one is doing its job..

It's the only LMB I have caught or seen for sure this year so far.. The BG have been feeding really well... Goals for this year are new aeration and start a bacteria program.. I have been reading a lot on carrying capacity and I am sure I am on the heavy side of it when it come to BG.. Have been removing several for table fare and plan on removing quite a few more this year...

6 inches of rain in 3 days helps.. Probably added 150,000 + gallons of water..
