Scott, my fishing buddy caught a 23 inch HSB at my place a few days ago, but it wasn't quite as fat as yours. Maybe six pounds. Had another one on that he couldn't stop. Great fighters!

I've never eaten a HSB, been reluctant to keep them since they don't reproduce and may be useful in controlling smaller LMB numbers. How do you cook them?

What are reasonable numbers of adult HSB per acre? I've stocked 95 the last three years in my 8 acre BOW, I'm sure not all have survived, but would bet the majority have. I feed but threadfin shad stocking did not take.
