Dave, I do have a scale I can use. I will do that this weekend along with a picture.

Bill, the strong year class really makes sense. We have been catching them and returning them to the pond. Have not kept anything out of the pond yet. Should I try to thin them down? I did start the bass stocking 1 year later than all the rest of the fish but they do seem to be doing great.

I guess my concern is that I have to many predators in the pond. LMB, a few SMB, BC, YP & HBG. I cannot establish fathead minnows. I have stocked pounds and pounds of fatheads, plenty of cover on shorelines, skids placed for spawning and yet I can trap no fatheads. Are you guys able to establish a fathead population?
