My HSB have gone from 4-6" long to 16-18 inches long (2 to 2.6 pounds)since last spring. 3 pound fish in 3 growing seasons sounds about right, but still very impressive.
Congrats on the great fishery even if not expected! There's something about using PB info and advice that makes a pond turn out.
Consider ladder stocking your HSB. I plan to put 10 more in this fall and take a few out just to keep them going in the pond.
