The fish were in the repro pond since spring of '07, when they were only 12 ounces or so. They pulled off a great year class each of the last two years, but it's a pond with a pure mud substrate that I hate to seine, so I just keep putting it off. Actually Lusk seined it by himself without getting a drop of water on himself, which to be perfectly honest with you, screwed with my head. The man is GOOD!
The nutrition is Aquamax 600 pellets, but there's also thousands of dragonflys around it, and probably hundreds of thousands of midge hatching every night in the summer. I'll bet this fish is 60-40 natural forage vs. pelleted feed.
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
