Ok, so we had a pond built in 2006 and stocked late in the year with FHM, BG and CC. The water got so low in 2007 that I decided to wait on putting LMB in. With more rain and a few leaks fixed they were stocked in June 2008. I started catching one every time I went out since March but only one. About 11 inches long. Now a couple I catch are at 12 but mostly about 13 inches. I caught 7 Sunday. I'm pretty happy. I just need more water. They look to be healthy and gowing well. Does 13 inches sound about right for being in the pond exactly 1 year? The pond guy told me they should be around 2.5 pounds by this fall. I think I'm starting to believe him.
