However you will have to wait until the ice melts in Spring for them to be harvesting any fish. Tell them I referred you to them. Maybe you could even deliver some of those larger bass to tws3 in Delaware OH north of Columbus? Note to all readers - larger size fish take time to grow to that larger size. So it is like buying trees from a nursery larger ones cost more for each one.. It is like paying the Dumb Tax. Not doing it right the first time has some sort of penalty.

Thanks Bill. I will check with Mark and Bruce. I can get 1 1/4# LMB that are typically sold as "food fish" but they have only fed on pellets so they might not do well if the pond owner isn't feeding pellets. They will learn to survive just fine on live food, but their growth rate won't be near as fast.
