aarogb Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 It's the right time now to get a cork and a 5/0 circle hook and catch you a big 'ole bass with that thing! Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted November 1, 2009 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2009 yeah right! i'm keeping this thing as long as i can! its got some serious growing potential. just checked my aquarium log and i added the bluegill on january 8, 2009 Quote
aarogb Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 That's my birthday!!! I wish I grew 4" in a year and 3/4. Quote

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted November 1, 2009 Author Super User Posted November 1, 2009 I remember when you got him, Dave. Gonna eat him when he hits 9 inches? ew gross no way. i bet aquarium fish taste like crap. when it ever dies i'm going to remove its otoliths and check em out under a microscope to check out its growth rates.

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted November 4, 2009 Author Super User Posted November 4, 2009 well if i had dermistid beetles i'd clean and preserve the skeleton, but since i don't have the beetles i can't... :-/ Quote
b.Lee Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Hahaha, its funny to me cause I know exactly what you are talking about. I actually got interested in a lot of this from CSI, funny enough like 5 years ago. Quote

Super User Micro Posted November 4, 2009 Super User Posted November 4, 2009 Dave, you fry that fishy up and I'll clean its bones for you! Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted November 5, 2009 Author Super User Posted November 5, 2009 or maybe i'll grow it out to be like 3lbs and then put a hook in it and say i caught the state record. :-X Quote
Super User Sam Posted November 5, 2009 Super User Posted November 5, 2009 I also remember when you added him to your tank. He looks great. Hopefully you will release him one day and get another smaller one to take his place. Quote
