Thanks RC, yours are taking to pellets pretty good if I remember right?
Anyone got any opinions on how big I should expect these fish to get??
Yes they are eating pellets as they were pellet trained before I got them. I have read that if you feed them they can gain up to 2 pounds a year I think that's tops but that's pretty darn good. I got mine in April they were 8 to 10 inches. The last one I caught in June was already pushing 12 inches. You won't believe how fast they grow! And fight!!! They also say around 3 pounds is the cut off rate for catching HSB in hot water for most folks. Most HSB 3 pounds or bigger in 80 plus water temps have a hard time living after you catch them because they give you EVERYTHING they got in the fight when they are caught they just cant recoup! Even if they swim off some folks have said they will see them floating 2 to 3 days later. So be careful in the warm water months when you catch them.
