Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose On Mutt Pond

We have some friends coming to visit so my bride said we need to start harvest early this year so she can prepare one of her Thai recipes. Walking around the pond I can see way more LMB than I thought we have and 3 size classes so I didn't feel bad harvesting a gravid female.

The LMB weighed 2 lb 14 oz and was 16.5 inches.

The SMB was in what I consider poor condition which I attribute to something wrong with its lower jaw. Maybe GBH damage.

The PS (7 inch) got caught accidentally off his nest and was gut hooked. He is dead in the photo. His spawning colors were much more vibrant when first caught. I saw one PS male on the nest today that has red coloration mixed over his entire body...Beautiful!
