We stocked some beautiful fat 7" SMB YOY that we picked up at Fender's in Baltic, Ohio.
They swam off into the structure (easily visible with the ponds over 2" low).
I highly recommend a visit to Fenders in the Fall. You can walk through the sales/bagging facility that's almost retail. The fish are in work-table height raceways, and you can walk amongst them all. Being next to the SMB raceway was a pure joy.
And the drive there, at least for me, took me through the Tappan Lake region of Ohio for a bit, and then through some beautiful Amish country.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
