Thanks guys. BTW that picture Ewest dug up is at least a year ago and was probably about 14 ounces. I'll have to see if I can get an ice out picture of the 1 pound plus guys right now. Remember these fish are 5 years old so no prizes for fast growth compared to the southern ponds. It does amaze me how stout those guys are after eating little or nothing all winter. There can't be much for them to eat all winter and yet they seem to maintain mass. Right now I'm reasonably happy and looking forward to some 1.25 pounds or better this spring. Won't be really excited until I see some over 2 pounds.


Gotta get back to fishin!
