Last summer I stocked 2500 FHM and 500 GSH in two ponds connected via a culvert pipe, 1.3 acres total.
Ponds There must be 10,000's of FHM, they seem to just keep spawning, I'm constantly seeing new ones.
The GSH on the other hand, I hardly see any, and I don't see any of size. When I stocked them, they were maybe 2". I have yet to see any over that size.
There are no other fish in the ponds yet.
Do the larger GSH not hang out near the shoreline?
After 1 year, would I not have some 4-5" GSH?
The GSH I do see are much smaller than the ones I put in, so they are definitely spawning, though I do not see them in any schools, they are normally alone, far and few between.
The FHM are doing great, the GSH are a dissappointment.
