9 inch gills are fairly common in that lake and 10 inch versions abide there in decent numbers as well . Of course they are heavy on the crossed up genetics in my opinion and seem to have a mix of Florida, native and sometimes a tad of red ear in them as well .
I will,say this though , the red ear crosses never seem to have heavy body weights on them and don’t typically get as large as the Florida crossed with the natives best I can tell
