Thank you so much Bill for the species ID. When you get your fish from the swamp next door like we did you wonder just what you have to work with.

I will certainly buy a Gee minnow trap and see what forage fish I have for the LMB fingerlings. The fish supplier also offered to bring small minnows of some type to make sure the bass had plenty to eat. That's starting to sound like a very good idea.

Thanks again for the help folks. I'll report my findings/progress as we go along.
