Scott, I haven't measured any spawning BG but have always heard that BG in the South can spawn @ 3.5 inches. I expect they were BG beds. Without bass, they can get out of hand in a hurry. I've had numerous kills in my forage pond when I didn't pay attention. I'll be seining in about 10 days and tossing BG and GSF in the creek.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
