Mark, Brian and my sons and I took out some 18 pure Floridas last fall for his lake and with the hot weather have not fished our pond enough this summer to evaluate condition and numbers.

Out of the 8 CB we stocked, 4 have been caught and released, proving the catchability and fast growth characteristic - fin clip ID.
Only one 3+ lb fat and happy Florida has been CPR.
So far the only LMB that have been culled have been small <14 inhchers and like I said Mrs. G wasn't happy.

With the on/off hot/cold spring I don't think we got a good spawn - hope not anyway - how was your spawn and how are your Camelot Bells doing?

If we find over abundance of Floridas I will give you a holler.
I have too good Florida genetics to go to waste.
