Thanks guys. Proud dad here. FYI, the SMB was 17”. The longest one yet from our small BOW. My hand held scale said 1.25 lb. it was more than that. Either my scale is messed up, or it was in some weird configuration. Wish I would have got the correct weight.


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.
