So Sharon can expect about one inch per year growth meaning 8 inchers in 2 years for her?

I don't have a pond, no experience with raising them. I do fish a public lake nearby that was drained a few years ago, not sure exactly how many. It was re-opened for fishing Oct of 08. I learned of it spring of 09 and started fishing it. Almost everything I caught was 7 inches. The ones this year are 8 to 8.25. This is a 150 acre lake and there is no feeding program. This one came from this lake. They don't seem to have slowed down in growth from when it re-opened.…

Does this rate of growth seem slow to anyone else, or does the growth slow down after 6"? My 2-3" BG have grown to 6" in one year. Hate to think it will take 4 more years to reach 8-9".

A number of years ago, I'd fish a farm pond That no one fished for bluegills. I'd harvested a bunch of smaller ones several times a year. With each year the average size of bluegill & crappie increased. The last time I fished this pond, the size of the bluegill's had went from 5"-6" to 8"-9" in a time spand of 4 years.

Keep 6" and let 7" go until you get 8" then keep 7" and let 8" go, etc, etc!<br />
Until you get some monster bluegills in pond then let some 10 " and up back to water!
