My guess is the same as HSB, although they won't get as big. They are in some of the public lakes here and I haven't heard of one getting caught that was larger than 2#. But then again I haven't seen or heard it all! While they are supposed to need running water to spawn, I'm not 100% sure of that. There are some lakes here that don't have rivers feeding them, and the WB population is still there. I don't believe a single person illegally stocking them would be able to stock enough in a lake to make a catchable population without some reproduction.

Very cool looking project Wahoo. And I love the pics with your shotgun and puppy. If you were younger it'd be a Norman Rockwell painting.

Years ago we had a TPWD Biologist who posted here. He posted about white bass spawning in a windy lake due to huge rip rap on the dam. Those were the days before the prior PB System got clobbered.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
