The FHM was a little bigger then I guessed and the GSH were a little smaller but the growth of the GSH is impressive. I've seen a few bass minnows left over from the winter kill a year ago so this year should be great for a minnow explosion without preditation.
ONE YEAR GROWTH

These little hopper bugs were all over the spatterdock and in the water last year and I observed the minnows eating them while I was in the water working on my wood duck house. So the bugs along with the bumper crop of tadpoles I had no doubt helped the GSH growth.
