Not to hijack this thread, but I'm going to anyway. I've asked this before, but never saw a response. Do your SMB have a somewhat musky odor? Mine do. I've caught several now (20+) and it seems like there is a smell with them. I was wondering if it was my water, fish food, me, or what, but I'm not smelling it with the HBG or the YP. Anyone else notice it? FYI, the SMB I've caught in my pond are the only SMB I've ever caught..


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
