Frank, it looks to me your plans for the grandkids to catch fish has worked out great. Look like some good looking kids having fun to me
And as far as that one skinny bass, I have to ask u if all the lmb are skinny? I have learned it is not so easy to get to your goals in just a year or so. My pond is fairly close to you and I have to opposite problem that you might have. My lmb survival of the fingerling stocking was really low, not sure why. The lmb count was low long before any cormorants, or Bald Eagles showed up. I went with a heavy stocking of cnbg and res and fhm's, maybe some of them feed on the lmb fingerlings, who knows? My cnbg count might be so high I may not get a spawn this coming spring, if that happens I might want to get some or your LSL lmb to help me get to my goals. Right now, I have a few lmb in the pond that seem to be in great shape but the count seems to be so low we have not caught one since last June.
