This one, I think is mature:


I caught him Friday night and extremely excited as he has the best set of shoulders I have seen come out of my pond. Another 7.5" BG I took at the same time only weighed 5 Oz. at cleaning; I think this guy was considerably heavier. The only fish I have been in a bigger hurry to return to the pond was our one and only HSB.

I'm glad I took the picture, or else this "Baby Bull" BG would have already grown to 10" in my memory! Now if I can just super-size him.
