It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

My daughter broke the 2 pound barrier yesterday! It's a 11 3/4", 2 lbs 1/2 oz BGxRES. (I sure hope you all have the Photobucket fix.)

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

Theo - Your fish growing talents are superb. Very nice hybrid. What did she use to tempt it to take her bait? Any idea how old it is?

Nice Theo! Absolutely amazing.

Was there a technique, plan, methodology or?

We were using really, really old, pulled-apart-after-being-stuck-together Stubby Steve's pellets on a number 6 (or maybe 8 ???) circle hook, chummed with Aquamax pellets they way my adopted Grandpappy (George Glazener) taught me.
Bill: IMHO that is NOT an F1 hybrid, therefore I judge the earliest it might have hatched was 2010. And I think it has to be at least 5 years old. So, 5 to 7 years ???
DD: Results are due to really, really good genes. It worked for the fish, too.
