I got back on the HSB after work yesterday. Optimal Hand Throw wrapped in pantyhose did the trick again. Relative weights are down a bit, and not for lack of groceries. Small pond, low water, maybe they've reached their limit for the size of aquarium they're living in?
Front fish was 19.5" 3.7lb 92.6% wR Back fish was 20.5 4.46lb 95.4% wR
I should have checked inside to see what they've been eating but it was so stinking hot and humid out I didn't bother. Both fish were males, and are #6 and #7 harvested of the 20 that were stocked in September of 2020.
Males throw caution to the winds around alluring stuff wrapped in pantyhose....Uh, I've heard.
