TJ, outstanding fish.
So, has anybody really succeeded with SMB in a pond down this way? I know Chris and Bob have both stocked them in the past, but I'm not sure how everything turned out long term.
I've grown them to 2 or 3 pounds but none of mine were as girthy as TJ's. And I found they did not grow as fast as the largemouths I've had. Also more seemed to go off the pellets vs. largemouths.
