Paul, that is a good looking bass.

"There still appear to be tens of thousands of FHM in the water near the bank riprap..."

I believe as your water continues to warm, the bass are going to "get faster" at a greater rate than the FHMs are going to "get faster".

Bad news for your FHM population, but good news for your bass - which appear to be already growing nicely!

Good luck on your pond!
