Hey,
I posted this in the image gallery but my pics didn't work for some reason. I have a problem, I have already found two of my bass trying to swim without tails or fins, I have a couple of large snapping turtles in there, but i thought they wouldn't do this to healthy fish. these bass were put in in March of this year, and weighed 1.25 lbs and was right at 12" without his tail. his tail and fins are eaten, what could it be? without trying to sound stupid, we can still clean and eat him right? This pond is overstocked, i stocked it before finding pond boss, so i dug another 1.5 acre section with a channel that will attach the two ponds for more carrying capacity. I have a lot of herons but haven't seen a beaver or anything that could do this. Other than missing the missing tail he looked good. Thanks for the help,
Monty.
