Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Results...another F1 strain bass

This fish was stocked as a fingerling on September 10, 2014.
One year 2 months and 10 days ago.
I don't think this is the same fish I caught a few weeks ago. She came from clean across on the other side of the pond. But it could be the same one.

I wanted to catch one fish late this evening just to see how well they were feeding. From this photo , I think it's safe to say that , I know where the smaller intermediate bream are going. This fish can easily take a good size bream.

The blood on the tail.........well I hooked her slightly on one of the gill ribs.
I was able to remove the hook fairly easily without causing any damage, but she bled a little. Hopefully she'll be ok.
Didn't weigh her or measure her, but she felt like a 3 pound fish easily. At this rate, by this time next year, this fish should go 5 pounds. There's plenty of forage base.

Nice fish J! Keep up the good work!

Great looking fish! What is your feeding schedule? What forage do you have in the pond?

Also you can clip her dorsal fin slightly, and that will help you identify unique fish.

Great job
