Fished Lee's pond for a while yesterday. Caught several yellow perch and......................our first Smallie!!!!!
It hit a 1.5" bluegill on a hook and bobber!!!
The smallie was about 7" long and looked healthy, but not overly plump. I stocked SMB from (3) sources, so I can't tell which batch this smallie was from thus I really don't know the growth rate.
