With PS hybridizing easily, I'm surprised there are very many pure PS with their beautiful natural colors left in these lakes. But if you can get PS hybrids or PS from local lakes and get them in your pond that would be cool. A lake we like to fish in in newaygo county about an hour north has very nice PS, not very many of good size though.

I'd love to know how the gentleman at little bass lake got ahold of 500 RES (if they were RES) I know of no fish farms in MI that will sell them. I can't imagine he ordered them online and had them shipped in and did he transport himself from Ohio or Indiana?

Would be a good piece of information to know (not trying to get anyone in trouble though)
