We the fish farm got back to me thy will only have 6 inch for me but they are going to try and get larger for me around the end of April

Those bad boys may need a while to reach sexual maturity. Checked my fish bible and it says that this usually happens after they reach 3-4 years of age (10-12 inches in size). It's reasonable to assume that your bass will grow faster considering the prime conditions and lack of current so it might be that they're a good 13 inches before they are ready to spawn. Good news is that the bible thinks that your other fish won't pose a problem to the largemouth in terms of successful reproduction so long as the water conditions are appropriate.

They did say they would be 2-3 years old and at least 6 inch but not much bigger but one plus is I will be able to buy much more of them

 

[BackwoodsBassr]

Yah that is a plus! Really, waiting a season or two isn't so bad since you'll have backyard bass to look forward to for your whole life lol!

 

[aaron86]

that is good though, they get used to the water, and you will know how many of them survived and how well they did in that water.
