Very nice fish so far from your trophy pond project. It appears the growth is progressing at our experienced rate for your methods. Evidently most of your concern and worry a year or two ago from not seeing nor catching larger perch was unfounded. Often YP when fat from pellet feeding will get "lock jaw" during mid-simmer. The difficulty as I see is it to keep them healthy enough from eating pellets to prevent premature deaths which is the main problem Cecil and I experience.
