I just got out of my pond. Ouch! The HBG are still biting! Two things I had heard, but not confirmed before I stocked HBG were that HBG would not bite swimmer (really floaters) like BG bite, which is totally false. A regular BG can't bite any more than these HBG do. And, that once the fish get bigger, they will quit biting swimmers/floaters. This is another false rumor. We caught 40 or 50 last week, all were much larger than any HBG we caught last year. Needless to say they are still biting. Ha! I had to swim with a shirt on.
I'm not putting any HBG back in the pond once caught.. I've said before my HBG were crossbred with piranhas.. wink

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.
