Those are about as perfect as you can get for frying !!!

its amazing how fast they grow isin't it , i things I remember hearing in agricultural science class back in jr high that they gain like 10 oz per every 16 that they eat !!! thats an amazing growth rate.

what are ya feeding them

we just put 100 4" fingerlings in my dads pond about a month agao and you can already see how much bigger they are.

We have two of the "strait shot" deer feeders mounted on opposite ends of the pond (2.5 acre) that go off one in the AM one in the PM and put out about 5lbs of feed each , Hes also feeding bream and some small bass but each time the feeded goes off they will boil the water till its gone , we will probably up the feed to 15lbs a day soon.

we have finaly thinned the turtles out to just one or two very small ones but their day will come soon
