Mr.W. The larger 10"-12" HSB were very hard for me to find in NW Ohio so I bought about 25-28 at 7"-8" long and grew them for one summer (midMay-Oct)in a cylindrical home-made fish cage. In October I ended with 23 that were 12.5"-12.5" long. Stocked 16 of them in my 3/4 acre pond. They survived and grew well.
