Hi my new pond was stocked with 2in tiger bass this past july. I will do some sampling this week to check sizes but I would expect the bass to be anywhere in the 8-12in range this upcoming spring.

The Question:

Will the bass spawn their first spring? Is bass spawning based upon age or size? From what I've read spawning begins the 2nd spring.

Any experience or info is greatly appreciated as it will help me plan for next year's management plan.

Thanks, Cuda
