He was about 11"

Some are an inch or two more - but they seem light to me too. So far the perch, smallmouth and 2 dozen or so trout have kept the BG masses at bay, maybe too much so.

There were about 50 SMB stocked in 2008. This year with weeds in the 2-4ft depths - I expect more BG to make it - I see LOTs of SMB 2=3". 6-7" and 11-13" - three year classes now. I will no doubt have to cull some SMB soon, but wanted to make sure the BG were in check 1st.
