Yesterday was a very special day in our pond project that culminated with very special unexpected results, made possible by a couple of very special friends.
After overcoming another health issue and running pond fever, I wanted to make a trip to Overton fish farm to pick up some of my up-to-date high genetic CNBG, but found a big surprise that has completely changed my opinion about LMB.
I discovered Camelot Bell Largemouth bass that has proven amazing growth rates and brought home to son Jeff 8 unbelievable specimens with high growth potential,
Can you believe 14 inches growth in a YOY 6 months old LMB?
There are reports of 20lb class Camelot Bell LMB bass straightened hooks � I am now a believer!
Son Jeff is a bass fanatic and I am phasing out my pond management to have fun fishing, and we will be transitioning to CB LMB by and removing as many of our pure Florida bass as possible.
I know this is a challenge to grow trophy LMB in small ponds but Camelot Bell LMB may be the answer. We are focusing on high intensity forage bass and hopefully limited bass numbers � we fin clipped the CB LMB.
Couldn�t have made it without the help and support of a friend that was my designated driver and heavy lifter and long time friend and pond consultant Todd Overton.
Thanks guys for putting son Jeff on cloud nine.
