Northern Studfish young-of-year pond reared with bluegill of second / last growing season prior to harvest. Total length = 17.38 mm. Basssmaster was so excited I though he was going to get messy since he had so many animals.
Could not be conceived prior to 20 May 2009.

Actually 600+ bluegill in a 0.10 acre pond if filler fish are included and now recruitment by the bluegill. Overall, I did not think the studfish would be able to reproduce successfully in the face of so much potential predator pressure.
