How fast will LMB grow? My wife thinks that I'm crazy but I swear that the LMB in the pond have grown 4 to 5 inches in the last two months!
Oldfarm pond completely empted and redug. Close to 2 acres, up to 35 to 40 ft deep. Last two years we caught River chub and smaller GSF, NO sign of any LMB. Last spring cleaned up the wood pile and found fish carcasses that sure looked like LMB.
This spring came across a couple of winter kill fish that also looked like LMB. Confirmed with a catch in June:
Wish I had a photo of the one from last night but it was BIG. OK not like world record size but for my pond BIG. The LMB in the photo was scrawny compared to last night.
The River Chub have disappered, the GSF are growing, and we also have found several Bullhead hatchs, so plenty of natural feed along with frogs and crayfish.
How fast will a LMB grow on natural food?
