Boy, do I love Male-only BG as a bonus fish!

I also believe I like having a great big bunch of Gambusia for them to eat. In addition to the weight gain, I'm becoming convinced that being accustomed to catching small forage fish akes them more likely to hit artificial lures. I caught these two Males tonight on a small in-line spinner bait. A 10 incher:

and my new personal record, and 10 1/2 incher:

Both of these BG were transferred from my main pond last year. The 10 1/2" one has grown at least an inch since then, in addition to bulking up notably.
