Okay guys...one of my daughters and I started clipping yesterday. It was late but caught three. Cut the main fin off the rear, and the spiny dorsals. I need some smaller hooks and some more worms or crickets. They tear crickets up. We have had army worms in our hay lately...we did get it up...but still find some...they are GREAT bait also...and it makes you feel good to throw them little terrors in the pond and see them GULPED up! Maybe today we are going to catch 8 or so 8-10" lmb. I have seen two BG spawns since I stocked in July, and since the rains we have alot of water primrose that has come up for cover. I think between us catching and few small LMB, the GSF shouldn't be a problem next year. Will try to post some more pics later.
