Bruce that fish is awesome!
Did you have any idea that there were LMB that large in the pond prior to this?
I'm happy for you my friend, all of your hard work is paying dividends.

Back in the cove, huh Rex? That must have been fun to get out of the water unless she was able to drag it to the boat launch area.

She is good at wearing the fish down....She fought it about 10-15 minutes and just waited till she could pick it up...She landed it in some large rip-rap/boulders.
Biggest fish she has ever caught and was as happy as could be!
The fish was tagged, but it was un-readable.

I'm happy for you my friend, all of your hard work is paying dividends. I had heard rumors that maybe there were some five pounders, but the seven pound fish is one I never thought I'd catch in Nebraska.

I'm down for a party at the new Conderosa.
Brettski and JHAP said that as long as there's a shed out back, they're in (the shed that is). I'll need my own room in the house.

Sunil, if it's anything like the little get-together we had last year you won't need a room. You won't be sleeping.

Nice fish - see other thread.
We want info on what happened to all the stuff at the Conderosa. Like the fish , equipment , etc. Is it in your basement?
Congrats on the sale. Upward and onward !!
Set the meeting well in advance.

I have moved all of the fish raising equipment to the new house (no small task), and am game-planning on how to best utilize it. It's in the garage basement. Cleaned, maintained and temporarily stored.

Are the neighbors aware that their beautiful water feature is about to be turned into a huge, C-shaped test tube by the evil brilliant Dr Frankenbruce?

I'm planning on being ULTRA- conservative creative on any recommendations.

Near left. Can you believe the water looks like that? It's always that way. Very unique for Southeast Nebraska.

All the way to the bottom...everywhere.
Hard to get a good Secchi reading when you lay the disk on the bottom and it's clear as a bell. I'd say around 4 meters.
Since I bought the land.
Average catfish has gone from 2.5 lbs to 6.5 lbs.
Average LMB has gone from Wr of 80 to Wr of 90
Biggest bluegill went from 8 inches up to a current 9.5 inches
I've almost broken the state record RES at 1-7...the record is 1-10
I've been in the neighborhood of state record LMB. I caught a 9-2 and the record is 10-12.
Feeding programs work.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Actually, looks a little more like a "C" to me. No offense, Bruce.

I'll briefly post this, then I'm going to make the video private again, but here's a video I made under my dock, and then showed at the Pond Boss conference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uriPvDAm5LUIf anybody knows how to embed this more properly, feel free to do so.
