nice lookin fish there brett. colored really dark, do you have pretty clear water?
I have pretty clear water rignt now. It won't last long though. By june it will be murkey. I'd guess visibility is pretty close to 3 feet. I could see the bottom of the pond in a shallow area that is about 3 feet deep.
By june it will look like the picture in my avatar. I'm pretty suprised that I get those plankton blooms without any fertilization. I usualy get the blooms just in time for all the fry to hatch so it works out pretty well.
I assumed those colors were spawning colors. I didn't know water clarity affected a BG's color that much. There are a lot of things I don't know about BG. I need to start doing some more research on those critters. They are my new favorite game fish (for now). I'm sure I'll go back to LMB later this spring.
