Cecil,
Beautiful fish!
I planted 125 3-4" SMB last fall and they are doing great, although my FHM are all but gone.
A certified source for SMB (southern Wisconsin) is:
Gollon Bait & Fish Farm
David Gollon, Jr
5117 Hwy 191
Dodgeville, WI 53533
Phone: 608-935-2098
Tim Gollon is in charge of the game fish. Great guy and a SMB lover.
Last fall I paid $1.50 each, although that is always subject to change and availability. They usually sell out every year so order early.
Tim may be able to arrange for the testing required by other states.
Of the 125 I planted (and 280 perch) not one was lost. SMB are now about 7-9". Not quite big enough to threaten the GSF yet, but, the GSF are very nervous when the SMB crash their feeding party.
