The first bass was caught in my pond during a backyard party I held for my staff. Hopefully, I was successful in attaching the photo.
We dug this small pond early October of 2006 and stocked 10 lmb (6 to 8 inch), along with 100 cc (6 to 8 inch) and 100 bg (2 to 3 inch).
Do you think this bass is one of our original 10? Or would this be a baby? I don't know how fast fish grow.
Our cc are about 12 inches now and I've caught one bg and it was small, about 5 inches.
We feed floating fish food regularly, although we're not sure how much food to throw out there. We feed for our recreation as well as to feed the fish, so when we are tired of watching the show, we throw the remaining food in the pond and leave. We probably throw about 2 cups of food when we feed and I'm pretty sure it's all gobbled up. Should we feed more?
I appreciate your input.
