Fall of 2022 was the initial stocking of SMB and WE. 200 Smallies were 2-3”. 50 Walleye were 5-7”. I then also supplemented another 25 walleye in fall of 2023 that were same 5-6” size range.
I thought so too. That one was thick and 13” in length. It is a 2.5 year old. That particular fish does sample in the faster growing category. I’ve read through Bill Cody’s article a few times and trying to implement as much of this plan as I can. www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/growing-smallmouth-bass.html

You bet. Just trying to share what I’ve been learning and observing. Thanks for watching and engaging.
One more question to ask. When did you stock all those Smallies and walleye?

@@newnatureadventures The reason I was asking is because that Smallie you caught at 12:30 time stamp was impressive for a two year old.

"Winter kill" in Ponds is exacerbated by excessive snow cover preventing photosynthesis...Trust me I know!
Dang…sorry to hear that. Yeah I’ve seen that happen. Thankfully I haven’t experienced that yet. Hoping to do all we can to prevent it.
