Finally had a chance to do a little fishing in the pond yesterday. I was very surprised when I caught a 6 to 7 inch CC, especially considering the number and variety of predators in our little puddle. I stocked a couple three years ago and the few originals are at least 6 pounds+. This spring I caught a 14 inch and now this little guy. I assume this means my CC have found suitable spawning habitat and actually managed to provide a small number of recruits. Would this 6 inch one be from this year's spawn or last year's? Anybody else have CC recruits in their small ponds?
