Bill,

Thanks for the kind words but I have a ways to go until I am a "Pro" if I ever get there.

Bill, I was considering he would have some mortality but you are right it is better to er on the conservative side. He can still have some fun with that conservative number and more than if they depended on wild feed.

I will be putting 300 feed trained 5 to 7 inch largemouth in cages Saturday in my .62 acre pond. Hope I don't overdo it. Sure wish the supplier (Laggis in Michigan) would supply them a little later. I don't like planting fish that have just be handled and the water's too cold to get them feeding right away for recuperation. I had some fungus problems last year when warming water temps was slow to come about.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
