If you�ve been on this Forum for at least a few months, you�ve probably read about the alleged terrible acid conditions in East Texas ponds. One post even tried to convince a really great guy that he should not move to East Texas because of that acid and the known fact that you simply can not grow good fish under those conditions.
In the few years I�ve been reading this Forum, I�ve seen only three pictures of 10 pound class LMB posted that were fish raised in ponds�.not coincidentally two of those pictures came from East Texas (and both were from Tilapia stocked ponds).
The fish pictured below was caught this evening from one of my East Texas ponds. It was only 7 pounds on the Boga, but I think it is worthy of a picture and comment because of those past threads. This fish had a whopping relative weight over 1.2. In another year or two, it will join the ranks of the other 10 pound class fish that came from this same pond.
Water temp 68 degrees, ph 7.0, and visibility about 9 inches. Pond treated with ag. lime 5 years ago and absolutely nothing since then.
Don�t move to East Texas. The ponds there are all filled with acid water that won�t grow fish.
