Nice looking HSB. I put in a few small ones last fall. I hope in a few years, I have something like that. Did you keep it, or just keep catching and releasing? Do they get hook shy? If you do keep them, how do they taste?


12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
