under a bridge in fl
some know some dont
never heard of pbass on the west side of fl

i raised 3 pbass i caught in miami.they were about 3-4"
when they all hit about 12-14" in my tank,i put them in my parents pond.
they been there for 3-6 months.
not to long ago we got a bad cold snap
where the bass are it was in the upper 20's!!!
my dad said the pond was steaming.lol

i only seen 2 of the 3 but this is good.
the biggest one has to be about 15-16" now :headbang2
think he was 14" when i put him in there.
so this summer i am betting i get some babies "if it isnt the fm missing"
and the big guy,this summer,should be 17"+ im thinking.

i was going to catch them but didnt want to bother them.lol
also a pic of a huge blue tilap that is in there.i seen 3.

sorry for bad pix
1.dont bring good cam to fish
2.there was a film on the water
3.glare
4.had to zoom all the way,so that makes it blurry.
will be out there tomorrow.will try for better pix.

oh and the dates were set wrong on some of them,all the pics are new.
i fixed it half way through.lol
