That photo'd HBG was a 2 or 3 year old and was about 7 inches long at a 1/2 pound. For the first few years in the pond, they had gazillions of FHM's to eat and I fed Optimal fish food regularly. They did not have much of a choice pertaining to weight gain. Since the FHM's have been mostly consumed, they have stalled somewhat. The largest one last year (year #4) was just over 6/10ths of a pound.


Fish on!,
