A friend at work built a 3.5 acre pond and stocked it last year with bluegill and largemouth. They've been catching decent sized rock bass this spring and wondering if the hatchery that the NCRS office used could have messed up. I didn't think that likely, but... This spring, they've also caught some bass up to 11 inches. I'm thinking I'm not sure, but it may be possible and suggested they post on this site with all the details. Then most recently, they caught a 19 inch bass. Time out. That did it. Forget the hatchery mistake and superfish genetics. Someone had to have "helped" stock their pond for them. I'm still betting someone likewise "helped" stock your pond for you. I'm hoping no one "helps" stock my pond for me.
