I don't have any fish that big in my pond yet but the bream do seem to have at least doubled in size since we stocked them and Matt says the catfish have as well. We've had our first hatch of minnows and there are now thousands of tiny little minnows 1/4" or so in size everywhere you look in the pond.

We go down many afternoons and feed them and watch the activity. Some times we can get a pretty decent look at the bream as they feed and for sure I've got some at least 4" to 5" in length in there now and none we stocked were much if any over 2" so they are growing nicely.

Hey Nonya, somebody went and painted stripes on your walleyes.  Seriously, those are some huge perch.  Wish I could find a place that had perch that size.

Looks like quite a meal for the family. How do you like to cook them?
