Cecil, You might be right but there seem to be plenty of those Cecil strain LMB. This picture was taken five minutes after the RES picture. 15.25" and 1 lb. 14 oz. Yes, Auburn single handedly hit the triple crown pond record in 10 minutes.RES, LMB, then the record BG at 9" 12 oz. Nothin beats a confident little girl with full canister of nightcrawlers. Remember, this pond was initially stocked with bream fingerlings Sept. 2006. LMB 9-11" Sept. 2007.
Bruce, It is a cell phone camera. We have a nice camera but it was out of reach at the time. I will target some of those "piggies" and get some better shots for your viewing pleasure.
Ewest, Interesting thread. Same term and growing season but I have an inch and a quarter on them. I am unsure of their origin but may be able to back track them if it is of interest. By the way... All three species can be observed munching pellets in my pond twice every day. Heck, even the 2" LMB are starting to get in on the action.
