How big is that bass? It looks like someone jerked his jaw up and it healed over.

His bottom jaw is split in half, thats how I got him from the hatchery. I didnt know it till I got home but it doesnt seem to bother him. He is the boss of the tank. :)

I'm thinking about moving the fish around, like splitting up the longears between the 220 and 265....then adding a few bigger fish to the 500. Friend of mine wants to take me musky fishin but not sure if it would survive the trip. I still want a big largemouth and big smallmouth, I have the gar and carp, just need a big cat :)

Not to be a butthead....but slow down and learn from your mistakes. You will be better of catching smaller fish and raising them on pellets...then slowly introduce them to the bigger tanks. Nobody likes a fish to die even if they are free. Don't get me wrong...you are and inspiration and great fisherman. I just want to see you succeed at your goal but feel you need to slow down and....well keep them alive by gaining knowledge.

Sorry...just sayin. Make your goal to keep them alive instead of how many, how big and cool predators.
