Size info needed

Learning how to target these guys.
Question: is this good, fair, mediocre size for these blacks. It's a small pond near me, and I have not been able to break the 14-15" barrier. I don't have small digital scale, but I'm estimating them at 1-1.5lb. I can't seem to find any of the "pigs" I see on this site, I was curious if the larger bodies of water dictates size since this pond is around 525 acres. It's known for bream, and I hardly ever see anybody fishing for specs, except the one guy that pulled up to me and wanted to know what I was fishing for with that "crazy clown colored" bait. Gave him trolling speed and some Roadrunners, now I see him more often. Any info appreciated on "fatties" if there is any. May just have to start learning Talquin. Thanx. Photos to follow.

If your catching Blacks that size on a consistent basis I'd be tickled to death. I would say that's pretty good in a body of water that size. I'd also bet there are some bigger ones in there. Just keep after them. Forage and population has a lot to do with the size. I'd would venture a guess that it has a above average population of them if no one else is fishing for them.

theysaid thats a great average size especially for a small lake

Thanks, the bodies just seem elongated in comparison to others I see on on c.com

Hmmmm What lake is that? I will let you know if there are any BIG ones.

when you coming, need to look and learn

I rarely catch fish around here, even in decent sized lakes, that have the "shoulders" that the real big water fish do, can get the length sometimes, but they'll weigh considerably less than their big water counterparts do.

Thanks, I assumed the larger body of water allowed for the football body's.

Central and south Florida have shallow dish pan lakes. A 500 Acre body of water is probably over a mile long, sort of Texas sized

Anything over 12" is respectable. I'd be pleased with what you described.
