Got 30 LMB last year that were 8-10". This spring I can see about 6 spawn beds that they are actively guarding and a few more they started but must have abandoned. There are 1-4 bass at some of the beds so I'm not sure if they would have laid eggs already? I went to measure the water temp but the thermometer that was outside apparently froze and broke. These fish have been in the pond less than a year but I'd say the larger ones are about a foot long and thick like balogna.
