My pond was complete in April of 2014.
I stocked Coppernose bream may 17, 2014.

Here is a photo of a Bream I caught with a cast net yesterday. There are many bigger than this one. This is from 2 inches, to this size in 7 months.

I stocked the bass on September 10 , 2014. Stocked Tiger bass from American Sportfish. They were intermediate fingerlings about 7-10 inches. The bass have over doubled in size. Caught one in the cast net about 20 minutes ago, easily over a pound and about 13 inches in length. And FAT, wide.

My fish are still feeding this time of year. I'm still going through about 40 pounds of food per 5 to 7 days.

Here is the bream I caught yesterday. I have big hands and my hand is closer to the camera than the fish.

At current growth rates, this fish should be huge after its first year of growth.
No telling how big it will be in 5 more months.

Outstanding Jason! Beautiful pond too!


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
