Another 5# class HSB caught and released from pond this week by son Jeff.
Two pounder transferred to main pond from “grow-out" pond.
He also caught and released 3 or 4 small HSB fall stockers - all on small Rattletraps.

I am becoming more comfortable in survivability of large HSB in record-breaking Texas hot, drought stricken conditions.

I am extremely pleased to experience 5# class HSB surviving under extreme conditions – if they grow larger, it’s a bonus.

HSB actively feeding this morning – air temp 38 degrees – near surface water 54.2.
