Eric, you're probably right, but the pond appeared void of life last April. I put in 3 adult lbm and 5 CC in April 2007. On my my next trip out in July, I added 100 BG, 100 RES, 100 CC, and 2 lbs shiners at that time. While swimming in July 2007 with a mask and fins, lmb 4-6" were visible. The lmb sizes I see now just don't make sense. Unless I'm catching the same adults per trip, something's fishy

I just wish I had my scale to check the RW's at the time...I threw them back in, hopefully I can weigh one next week as I visit the completed new pond.
To add more to the puzzle, I tried lures and worms in the pond prior to introducing a few fish, never had a nibble. Can lmb grow 12 inches in a year?
