Those look great Shorty. Caught my first RES yesterday from my pond and this time it was definitely a RES. 7" and should be about the same age as yours that you raised. Mine looked nice and healthy, but yours really look great. I stocked some additional 3" RES last fall but would not think they could have grown that fast to be this fish, so assume it was from the original March 2013 fingerling stocking.
I will add this thread to my RES info and links thread here. Great job and thanks for sharing. Very interesting.
