Yeah, i experimented with ATF and peacock bass. It didn't work out either. The bass were way too aggressive feeders and didn't leave anything for anyone else.
pics of the 20" odoe pleasebiggest on mfk?? with your hand in the shot maybe for reference??

nice, i got one to 13 inch in a year in my 300, had to sell him though as he got aggressive and took out three fish in 3 month inc a micro snakehead that was larger than him! good job with max tho, mfk legend to be im sure.
