Cecil:
Could you catch a fish out of the brood stock pond and see how they're progressing? % wise, you should catch a male and not a female... Your luck wise, you'll catch a gravid female.
Got any pics of BG fishing?
Did that. Most have dropped their eggs especially the big perch up to almost 14 inche, but what's interesting is the smaller females seem to be reabsorbing their eggs for some reason. That may be where I screwed up. I planted mostly smaller female perch and even though they seemed to have some good egg mass. Perhaps they reabsorbed their eggs?
I have moved two egg ribbons out of the broodstock pond to the production pond that should be fertile. Hopefully I can get a couple more and I will be fine. I'm still getting four or five monster size egg ribbons in the big pond. I'm moving them to the production pond just in case they are fertile.
