Wanted to share this little guy, I have fed optimal and AM500 the past two years...optimal BG this year. He is not the biggest I've caught but the first I have photographed and shared. The state record in Arkansas for GSF is 1 lbs. 11 oz. I think I'm going to try for it since I've got them in the pond anyways. lol. I did not measure or weigh this one but really enjoyed him. For reference, the ozarka water bottle is right at 8" long...actually 7 15/16. Not a great measurement, but it is something. lol







Caught these that day also





Seem to be growing well. Hope to get a scale soon so I can get some relative weights...and keep up with the GSF. lol.
