Hey Guys,
A few years ago we built a 25 ac. lake, max depth 32'. We stocked with blue gill, red ear, fatheads, and crawfish at the beginning of last summer, and we dropped in 2"-3" bass a mixture of native and Florida. Today, my son and I went fishing for 4 hours and caught 20 fish. Here are their length/weights. How would you all proceed if this were your hole?
12" - 14 oz. 10" - 9 oz. 11" - 11oz
09" - 07 oz. 12" - 15 oz. 11"-10 oz.
11"-9 oz. 9" - 6oz 12" - 13 oz.
11" - 8 oz. 11" - 9 oz. 9"- 6 oz.
11" - 11 oz. 11"- 9 oz. 10"- 7 oz.
10" - 8 oz. 9" - 6 oz. 12"- 12 oz.
11" - 12 oz. 9" - 8 oz.
I am new to all this so any input us appreciated!!
Thanks,
Jon

Compare those fish to the fish length/weight found on the Relative Weight Chart found in the Archives. If the fish in your pond are comparable weight wise, or heavier than the fish in the chart, then you are doing good.
