well lastnight i went out for the 2nd time in our pond. a little history of our pond is that we had a pond there 1 time but it went dry so we drained it out, and there was only 5 fish there...nothing big...but then we had someone dig a BIGGER pond and with all of the rain the last year it is now full and has moss!but last year we put about 50 small bass...some small crappie and a few small catfish....but i was using a black spinner bait and i was really suprised whenever i caught this... http://i11.tinypic.com/4ystcf7.jpg though it was a turtle whenever it took it....i was very impressed by how large he has gotten over just a year!
also i caught a small bass...and i couldnt land about another 5

Alright ..nice fish,

How long was that cat when you stocked and how long is it now? Looks like its been eating real good.

ohh i dunno less then a foot b4 and i dunno how long now....i was in such shock i didnt weigh or measure it[&:]

It doesn't look to me like it is longer than 12" now..

growth depends on where you are at, some fish gain 3oz a year some gain 1# a year, good fish and a lot of fun none the less, one thing i would advise you on is check with your county ext. agent, crappie in small water can be a bad thing, what part of missouri are you in, i have some friends that live around LOZ

BTW, WTG, good fish, and enjoyand keep ketchin 'em

.

Thanks Reb.

i went again lastnight and my sisters came for the first time in forever.........they got bored about 15 minutes tell dark and walked back...i caught 2 bass and a sun pirch....pics to come
