This weekend (7/26/25) I caught a new pond record from my 3/4 acre pond in Tylertown, Ms. 2lbs 7oz 15 3/4 inches. I stocked 75 F1 Tiger bass on 7/3/24, they were about 1 1/2 inches long. I originally stocked 75, but have culled around 20 this year. I have been feeding the bluegill heavily and have seen evidence of several bluegill spawns this year. I added more structure, PVC trees made from 4x4s and PVC, rock piles, sunk 4-5 treeetops, and added some spawning discs. This is the first one that I have caught over 2 pounds and am really proud of the growth. I am still catching some smaller bass that are 11 - 13 inches, some are a little above or right at relative weight and some are below (around 90% RW), I think I may try to cull a few more of the smaller, skinny bass. But I guess I have a few bass that are eating fairly well.
