Yeah, I'd say you're right on that one, T!

Speaking genuinely about grass carp, I bought 3 from Rex last year and added them in October. All were probably around 11 - 12 inches. I also added 100 RES and an assortment of nice sized BG from Esshup and a few LMB, YP (both from Sunil's pond), and HSB (from Rex). Haven't really watched for any of them and probably couldn't distinguish them even if I saw them.

BUT . . . this was really cool. We were at the farm on Monday and the water was pretty clear while we were feeding. We noticed some pretty bulky fish that we first thought were a couple of big LMB (big for our pond) swimming around and eating a pellet here and there. As we got to watching them more closely, we realized it was the GC and, my how they've grown! These fish are probably pretty easily pushing 15" or so and have developed really healthy looking bodies. It was cool to see them and see that they've done so well in the past eight months.
