Hey Zep,

Thanks for the compliment!!! It was certainly a thrill catching that fish out of my lake. I've been watching them grow and knew there had to be a few in there pushing 7 pounds.

I'm not really trying to manage for a trophy fishery. I just enjoy catching any of the fish I've got. Right now, I have a crappie problem. I didn't put a single crappie in the lake, but I have a ton of small ones in there. I've pulled out 75 in three afternoons of fishing. They really start biting about an hour before dark. I'm also going to take out 50 or 60 of the smaller bass in the next few weeks.

Must Grow Fish!!
