Very true. Our lake is 15 acre with a max depth of 40Ft. We let the baitfish spawn before we stocked 1000 bass. We also have added about 10,000 threadfins and this year we will start putting in gizzards. We didn't stock with any other sport fish. This yr our goal is remove approx 300' bass 18" or smaller. Its a work in progress but so far its been the most fun. This yr I have caught a 9.8, 10.25, 10 as my three biggest. Had one pop off that looked to be 12+ but then again they all look several pounds bigger when you lose one. Have caught several in the 6-8 pound range this yr as well. Hoping by this fall I will catch a 12+, that would be icing on the cake.

Nice.

She was an unique pleasure to work on!!! Beautiful fish!!!!

First off.... great fish.

Second.... great replica!

Third..... A four year old CB? Wow.

I am sitting here at the office waiting on Fed Ex like a kid waiting on Santa at Christmas. Can't wait to see it.

Thank you. To be honest I was't thinking of catching a DD in the 4th year. I won't be surprised and kinda of expecting to catch a teen this fall or next spring.

Going to take you a �hour to unpack it!

Well I got my fish and I�ll be damned if Fed Ex didn�t toss it around and chipped the finish and broke the solder that attaches the fish to wood. Got a hold of Bill and we�re gonna mee up next week to have it touched up and re-solder it.
