not big... almost an acre, it filled up in 2012, but i didnt do a traditional stock.... i caught about 75 bream and put them in and let them take off, then i put about 40 bass all under or right at a pound. they took off!

silver and black with red... i caught another a lil smaller but didnt take a pic... but every afternoon they are cuttin up along the edges hitting dragonflies so i threw it out a few times, and just did a slow steady retrieve.

Excellent.

You'll have numerous species of fish from egrets, as well.

Pic 1 looks like a sacaperch and bream were knocking boots and an opportunistic largemouth walked in near the 4th quarter with the moneyshot.

The bottom one is definitely a hybrid.

I always called them "RockBass". They don't get very large.

The big one is probably not the same type of fish. It resembles a goggle-eye, but way too big for a RockBass.

The hybrids actually do get big. Up to 1 1/2 lbs. Drawback is they don't reproduce.

thats what i thought... whatever the top one is, they definitely reproduce, ive seen em on nests and i caught way smaller than i put, so thats one reason im confused, but they are big, and fight like hell! the kids freak when one of those grabs hold!
