My SMB are still sticking around after 5 years of being stocked. Biggest I've seen is around 15-16". I have another pond that I'd like to move them to so I might drain the pond this spring and see what all is left.
Good new Chris!
Bring me up to date as to when stocked - how many � what size stocked to reach 15 � 16 inches?
Having fished Lake Texoma for ~100 days a year for 20 years and keeping records for some 15, I NEVER caught a smallie in any of the mud/clay bottomed creeks.
Texoma is much better SMB lake than LMB. but I was targeting Striped Bass as primary sport fish.
Thanks,
George
