Rod, what does the "...five years ago," comment mean?
Just a bastardized quote of the original,
"When is the best time to plant an oak tree? Forty years ago. The second best time is right now."I thought the OP's tone was that he was just itching to get bass started in his pond, even if that was only a single 6" fish!
I was hoping he could go for just a few more months of patience, if that is what the experts recommended.
(I think he did. I hope he is rewarded by explosive first-year growth of all of his F1 bass!)
