well here it is the 6th of december and my bg are still feeding. i have the feeder running 4 times a day now. we had a cold snap right before thanksgiving that shut them down, but that only lasted a few days. my bg were originally stocked in February, they sure have had one good growing season. they were fed aquamax up until a few weeks ago, now they are eating the new optimal. last time i fished i caught several in the 8" range. i feel sure that i will have them weighing a pound by this time next year.
