My SMB sure like to reproduce. I'm seeing quite a few 2-3" long specimens in this shallow water that I drive across almost daily. Saw that size also early this spring so I presume different pairs spawned at different times through the year. I did dump some crushed limestone rock beds and have rock lined the pond bank so they have perhaps had pretty good spawning substrate in an otherwise clay pond.

My RES pond turned into RES/SMB pond This is the thread about my SMB pond that has SMB with RES the main forage.

Where I am seeing numerous small SMB fingerlings.
