Cool. How you get the shad? You go catch them and release them?

[Tmag]

Very nice.

WOW how much did 1000 CB largemouth cost? I thought they were like $100 a pop.

That's an awesome project. Hope to see some big ones in pics soon.

Very nice Brandon! Keep us updated as time goes on. I fished lots of stock tanks when I was young.

If the red ears and bluegill have been in there 3 years, they are probably pretty good size by now. How big do bass fingerlings have to be to reduce the chance of getting gobbled-up?

Yes. During the spring they are easy to catch and I have several bait tanks so transporting is easy.

We got the 2-3" Camelots for $1.75 each. Almost got the bigger ones but according to Todd these grow so fast initially that at the end of the day it really doesn't matter. We ordered a few more to offset any loss.

Bluegills and Redears primary food source is bugs and what not. I am sure we will loose a few but hoping not to many.

Wow that's exciting. Congratulations on your project. Wish we could fast forward time and see results.

Need some crappie too!

Need some crappie too!

That is in the plan but probably 3yrs from now. I want the bass to reach a size that they will be able to eat the crappie and help control the population. We have another smaller tank on the ranch that is about 4 acres in size that I want to stock some of the Hybrid Crappie.

Brandon, do you currently or plan on feeding fish pellets?
