NICE LOOKING GENETICS ON THIS ONE CHRIS !!!!!

They should easily hit a pound by next fall. Especially on the new Optimal feed. I've even seen Redear coming up to feed after just a few days on the stuff, and they are notoriously hard to feed train.

Thanks for the Link Tony.  Just spoke with Esshup and I'll have some on order soon.  My initial goal for my pond was large panfish, so this food looks perfect.  I may end up having to harvest more than I initially wanted to if they grow as fast as those guys are making it seem like.

I'm hoping they adapt to the feed and hit a pound by next fall!

TONY...WHATCHA' THINK...?

You should send me a PM with a link or something.  I'm always open to new food if it's available in my area.

Aquamax is good stuff, I've fed it for years.  But there's a new feed just hitting the market, and I think it's going to be a game changer. I was fortunate to be part of a trial program for it, and I'm astounded with what I saw. I'm switching to it exclusively next year.

Once these things get on Aquamax they'll all push 10" Jim!  Just glad for the extra gene's in the pool
