Nothing wrong said....it's just been pretty busy for many folks as of late. Perhaps one or more members of our very well informed Texas contingent will weigh in shortly....

In the meantime, I will weigh in on the issue of transporting fish from the creek. I probably wouldn't, although like you I would surely be tempted. You run the risk of introducing an undesireable plant species, or even encountering an issue with the fish themselves.

If I understand you, you want to manage with big Bass as your primary goal. If it were me I would take advantage of some of the superior genetics available these days, and bypass the creek fish, AND the fish truck, right off the bat.

If you have the chance to start from scratch, try to find the best stock that you can....don't just add fish.

"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.
