And he shows us another one of his naturally produced high quality and dandy hybrid RES X BG. Good job growing these trophy class panfish. You should write a story for PBoss magazine teaching how to and showing us pictures of the size groups as they get to the trophy category. Lots of pond owners would like to be able to produce trophy panfish like you produce.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Weighing 2 lbs 2 (& 1/2 ?) oz. Caught on a Berkley Poweregg. Nice indeed. How old do you think that fish is? And I second what Mr. Cody said, an article would be great reading.

Nice indeed.
How old do you think that fish is? Unsure - he claimed he left his wallet in his other pair of pants.  Making a WAG from what may be size/year classes among the well fed BGxRES in the pond, 4 or 5. And I second what Mr. Cody said, an article would be great reading. Having just retired, my time availability is notably different these days. I hope to have time for writing this Winter when the weather sucks too much outside for making hay (imminent) and the Retired Honeydo List (in work for 2 months now).
