Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Evaluating New Pond and New Fish

I have a confession to make. I was really thinking I was going to see something in the 11-12" when I sampled last. It was to damn nice outside this afternoon and I "had to" go to the farm to test the feeder. It doesn't seem like it's putting out the right amount of food, and I just added the Optimal Winter (sinking) to it. Had the allen wrenches to adjust the plate on me but couldn't find the screwdriver that I "always" have in the truck for the life of me.

I did happen to have the fishing rod though and decided to still make use of the time to see if I could find that elusive 11-12" fish I had hoped to see.

Caught a few BG, one TP, and two additional LMB before calling it.

First up, a shorty - 9.25" .44lb @ 119% RW

Second up one of the standard LMB in the pond - 10.43" .64lb @ 115%RW

Both looked healthy and it seems as though fish growth stalled in the 10" range.



Love the info you guys are laying out and the questions that are being asked.
