what was the length on the HSB? Great fish!
I didn't get to measure it James, or weigh it. I guessed it to be in the 10-12 pound range. It was easily our heaviest and longest HSB to date, and we've caught two over 10 pounds this year. My best guess on age is that it was from our original stocking in 2004, though it's possible that it was stocked in 2009. Given the size of the majority of our HSB now, my money is on the 2004 class. Very few of those fish remain, but they are hogs. This fish was the thickest HSB I've seen in my pond.
