About a week ago I caught and measured a florida lmb that I stocked at 4 and 1/2 inch length. It measured 7 and 1/2 inch. It had been in my pond exactly 8 weeks and grew 3 inches!! I was pleased with that. These were not Legacy but pure Florida strain from Overtons. In my opinion from years of sightfishing lmb... They look SMALLER in the water than they do when you get them out. Look like a 2 pounder on a bed and drag it out and weighs over 3 pounds. I too have rescued a 13 inch lmb swimming on the surface in a circle with a huge bluegill wedged in its jaw!!! Don't remember the bluegill living but the bass swam off!!

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.
