As you would be, that's cracker. What did it weigh? I was really excited when I caught my PB Silver 53cm and 2.7kg, from a local dam. |

I have bigger ones in my ponds but I dont catch them with a rod and line. earthbound wrote: Have you been feeding them steroids? I caught this fish out of one of my customers dams. I have been stocking it with fingerlings over the last few years so its naturally as fat as it is, they dont feed their fish at all. It is spawning time so i am sure it would be full of eggs which explains the rather bloated appearance. |

That silver is HUGE. Mine are only a fraction of that size. I have a conundrum for you all.. I have around 90 silvers in a 35kL tank, with a 1m2 hatch. How should I catch them?

Carton of beer and a bucket of worms? Or a big net with a drawstring? |
