Took off last Wednesday for a long weekend of sprint car racing at Lucas Oil Speedway. After unpacking and washing the camper I went out to the pond to feed the fish.

You'd have thought the poor things were half starved to death by the way they attacked the pellets. They were not messing around.

I got a visual on some of the advanced size YP that I got from Snipe last fall. Now that the water has cooled into the upper 60°s they have become much more active
and are taking pellets from the surface rather than being content to hoover up what sinks. There are a couple or three that look to be pushing on 14". The big RES will
chase the smaller YP away from the pellets, but these larger YP won't put up with that behavior. They push right back.
