Dave, that Florida was exactly 1yr old and around 12" long i believe. This coming March will be year 2 for my original florida stockers. I was getting some 14-15" fish in October that were closing in the 2 lb range. Im happy with the plan i started.
The most pleasing thing though is how aggressive these Floridas are turning out to be. I believe that being that we are moving them via hook/line we are moving the most aggressive Floridas of the pack. We have been catching them almost everytime we go to are larger ponds were they were stocked. To give an example 25 are in 4 acres. 3wks ago my brother caught 4 of them in 2 hours out of the 12 fish total he caught. Also Only 10 were moved to our 30 acre lake. Already caught one of those also. What are the odds of that! They may get hook-shy later in life but i don't care really, they are in for genetics, not catching.
Anyways, anyone have any input on the 7 acre lake?
