I have done nothing at all yet to this pond as far as BGs go. They were all about the same size basically around 8" or so. I stopped because I was nailing them left and right and they are on their beds. But anyhow it seems my pond is full of 8" BG's. Free expert fishing tips. Just call BR-549.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!" If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
