Tracy,I don't know if they are feeding on pellets or not.When the fish boil under the feeder I can't tell what kind they are.I may have trained some from day one feeding but did not in a separate "barrel". Whatever they are doing they are doing it on their own. I only stocked 400 of them 2 inches long. Maybe Todd Overton had them pellet trained before I got them.I rarely catch a res and I have caught hundreds of my cnbg. I measure and weigh everything I catch and keep good records. All I know is the 8 inch res was only 2 inches 8 months ago!!....Thank you guys for the charts.

Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.
